After returning from a short spring break, one experienced, steady, promotion-ready client found herself suddenly sidelined—for no reason other than being remembered as “a mom.” It wasn’t her performance that changed.

Thinking about a career change? You’re not alone—and you’re not starting over. You’re starting from experience, growth, and a clearer sense of self.
