I missed my son’s first birthday. And that moment changed everything in my career. 

In this deeply personal episode of the Second Act Success Podcast, Shannon Russell shares the story of the day she was producing a major MTV shoot at South by Southwest while her baby celebrated his first birthday without her.

On paper, it looked like success. Behind the scenes, it felt like heartbreak.

If you are a working mom feeling stretched thin...
If you love your career but are not where it’s taking you...
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Is this really the life I want?”...

Then this episode #245 will resonate with you.

This episode dives into:

• Working mom guilt and career pressure
• The emotional pull between ambition and family
• Recognizing when your career no longer fits your life
• Early signs it may be time for a midlife career transition
• How one moment can plant the seeds for your second act

Shannon shares how that moment became the catalyst for leaving television, starting a business, and eventually becoming a business coach for women navigating career transitions.

Your turning point might not look dramatic. It might be quiet. It might be emotional. But it matters.

And it might be the beginning of your second act career.
