Episode Synopsis

Today we’re BACK with Andrea Gomez Kerr - whose leap-in-progress is one that we’re tracking - and whose last episode ("I Just Gave My Two Weeks" - Ep. 19, April 5, 2023) quickly became one of the podcast’s most listened-to episodes.  Last time, Andrea shared that she had just quit her job and spoke really openly about Type-A-working-mom-burnout; cutting 40 percent of her family’s expenses; and a lot of the decisions (conscious and not) that landed her where she was.  Andrea is a mom of 3 young kids, the child of immigrants, and has financially supported herself since she was a teenager - so all this has been a very big change.Today, in Ep. 30, and a few months into her leap, Andrea and I discuss:The identity crisis of leaving a job and how we often still feel like we’re on the hamster wheel - even when we don’t have to be  (and what to do about it);What happens when ANOTHER family member finds themselves suddenly leaping as well (and when can that be a good or not-so-good thing); andWhat it really means to be a ‘good mom’ and - as we make life changes - how  we navigate prioritizing ourselves alongside our kids (or spouses, or other roles we play in life, for that matter).Finally, we break down what a life leap really is (hint: it can be less drastic than you might think).  **sponsored content*****Have guest ideas?
