She also runs the longest running national parent study on pandemic and post pandemic mental health. In this episode of Women in B2B Marketing, we talk about the emotional, mental, and logistical load carried by working women and why burnout has quietly become a default state for so many of us.\nLeslie shares why women struggle to ask for what we need, how the past five years have reshaped the caregiving landscape, and what leaders and companies can do to support caregivers instead of unintentionally burning them out. We also unpack the rise of the Hype Women movement, the importance of making space for asks, and how community can fuel both confidence and belonging.\nHere is what we cover:\nWhy self care scores have dropped below pre pandemic levels in her national studyWarning signs of burnout that appear long before we notice themWhy high achieving women struggle to ask for help or supportThe unseen load mothers carry and how it affects work, relationships, and healthWhat employers misunderstand about caregivers and the simple changes that matterWhy ERGs often run on unpaid labor from women and how leaders can fix thatThe link between psychological safety, vulnerability, and the ability to ask for what you needHow the Hype Women movement creates space for community, courage, and honest requestingWhy many mothers feel like they are failing in every role and what actually drives that feelingHow women can start reclaiming time, rest, and care in realistic attainable ways\n\nKey Links:\nGuest: Leslie Forde: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslieforde\nHer book, Repair with Self Care: \nhttps://a.co/d/fu3UGes\nMom's Hierarchy of Needs\nhttps://momshierarchyofneeds.com\nHost: Jane Serra: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janeserra\n\n\u2013\u2013\nLike WIB2BM?

Not necessarily.\nIn this episode of the Second Act Success Podcast, Shannon Russell talks with Marianne DeMello-Smith, creator and host of the Message in the Middle podcast, about career burnout, midlife career change, setting boundaries at work, and finding a career that fits the life you want now.\nMarianne spent 26 years with the same financial services organization, working her way from client service representative to director and vice president. But after multiple acquisitions changed the company culture and direction, Marianne realized she was burned out, unhappy, and no longer aligned with the work environment she had once loved. \u00a0\nAfter leaving, Marianne gave herself six months to pause instead of immediately jumping into another job. She used that time to reconnect with herself, reevaluate her priorities, and decide what she wanted the next chapter of her career and life to look like.\u00a0\nUltimately, Marianne discovered that her second act didn't require leaving corporate America. She found a new position as a chief of staff, but this time she entered the role with clear boundaries and honest conversations about what she was and wasn't willing to sacrifice for her career.\u00a0\nShannon and Marianne discuss how to recognize career burnout, identify your transferable skills, use your professional network during a career transition, establish workplace boundaries, and stop believing that every career decision has to be forever.\nThey also talk about Marianne's decision to reconnect with her creative side by launching the Message in the Middle podcast and why sometimes the best way to begin something new is simply to \"do it messy.\"\u00a0\nIf you're experiencing career burnout, considering a midlife career change, or wondering whether you can create a more fulfilling second act without becoming an entrepreneur, this episode will help you think differently about what's possible.\nYour second act doesn't have to mean starting over. Sometimes it means taking everything you've learned and using it to create a career that works better for who you are today.\n\ud83d\udd17 Read the Full Show Notes & Resources for This Episode \u2192\n\n\nReady to Start Your Second Act?\nThinking about changing careers or starting a business?

You have the title, the stability, and the resume. But internally, there is a restless voice asking if there's something more you\u2019re meant for.\nThe problem is, the idea of a major career transition, burning it all down and starting over, feels terrifying.\nGenevieve Dozier is here to prove that you can build a portfolio career that scratches all the itches.\nGenevieve is a Fintech leader who refused to accept the binary choice of \"Corporate Executive\" OR \"Creative Entrepreneur.\" Instead, she built a Portfolio Career, simultaneously climbing the ladder at major financial institutions like BB&T and Fiserv while building her own business, Warpaint Consulting.\nIn this episode, Genevieve challenges the \"What if?\" anxiety with a powerful new question: \"Why not?\"\nWhy not build an \"insurance policy\" for your career? Learn how a side hustle can be more than a passion project; it can be a safety net against layoffs and corporate volatility.Why not be a C-Suite leader and a creative entrepreneur? Discover how to write books, speak on stages, and consult without losing your status as a respected executive.Why not start right now, exactly where you are? See why you don\u2019t need to wait for the \"perfect time.\" Genevieve wrote her book on airplane tray tables while traveling for work, proving that boldness happens in the margins of your busy life.This episode has it all: Genevieve challenges conventional career wisdom, normalizes that it's okay to step in and out of a career, and shares exactly why it's important to build a portfolio career that serves your professional growth.\nShe was able to become a portfolio career trailblazer because she sought out mentors and advice that opened her mind to what was possible.

This week, we're exposing the truth about why trust is eroding at work, why women are the first to see through it, and how to build your own flexibility before you're forced to react.\nCompanies are demanding you return to the office while simultaneously talking about AI replacing jobs. The math isn't mathing. In this episode, remote work futurist Nola Simon breaks down what's really happening - and how to position yourself ahead of the curve instead of waiting to be managed out.\nThe future of work isn't coming. It's here. And if you're a woman, a mother, or someone building meaningful work without the performance theatre, this conversation matters.\nNola Simon, a future of work strategist and remote work futurist, joins the podcast to talk about what's really driving return-to-office mandates, why trust in leadership is breaking down, and how women\u2014especially caregivers and multi-passionate entrepreneurs\u2014are quietly redesigning work on their terms.\nThis isn't about trends. It's about agency, self-trust, and preparing yourself for what's next without waiting for anyone's permission.\nIn this episode, we chat about the future of work for moms:\nWhy return-to-office mandates are really about commercial real estate (not productivity)How trust erosion between employees and leadership is reshaping the workplaceThe hidden pattern women notice first: values vs. behavior gaps in company cultureWhy portfolio careers and flexibility aren't side hustles\u2014they're strategic safety netsHow to practice \"everyday futurism\" and prepare for change before you're forced to reactThe critical difference between your job title and your actual skill setWhy the most valuable work (connection, ERGs, community building) is still unpaid\u2014and mostly done by women\nDon't miss this episode if: \nYou're tired of waiting for work to go \"back to normal\"You're considering building income streams outside traditional employmentYou're a working mom navigating flexibility, caregiving, and career simultaneouslyYou sense something is off at your company but can't quite name itYou want to future-proof your career without burning out\nQuick key notes from our interview: Stop waiting for work to go back to normal. Design your own normal. If your job disappeared tomorrow, what would you want your work life to look like? Start moving toward that now.Treat flexibility like a strategy, not a request. Audit your role: which parts truly require you to be in a specific place? Use that clarity to negotiate.Build optionality before you need it. One income stream = one point of failure. Choose one low-pressure way to expand your income and skills this year.Practice everyday futurism. Run scenarios: What if my role changed? What if my company downsized? What skills or income streams would help me feel confident?Trust your pattern recognition\u2014it's a leadership skill. When you notice repeating patterns (disengagement, fear, unclear leadership), use that insight to inform your next move.Separate your identity from your job title. You are more than one role, one company, or one chapter. Your transferable skills travel with you.Build self-trust through small repetitions. Make one decision this month that prioritizes your future self, even if it feels uncomfortable.\nConnect with my guest: \nNola Simon\nnola@nolasimon.com\nlinkedin.com/in/nolasimon\nIf you have a question or need advice, DM me on \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060Instagram\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060 or \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060LinkedIn\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\nLoved this episode?

She explains why authentic personal branding must come from a place of service rather than ego or validation, and how vulnerability can create deeper trust when you share lessons instead of simply sharing struggles. Jessica also reflects on burnout, the pressure of tying self-worth to success, and how difficult seasons can reveal a more meaningful path forward. Drawing from her own entrepreneurial journey, she explores the importance of community, balance, purpose, and embracing both the light and dark experiences that shape personal and professional growth.\n\u27a1\ufe0f Show Links\nhttps://successstorypodcast.com\u00a0\u00a0\nYouTube: https://youtu.be/OdlHTmqpBz0\u00a0\nApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jessica-zweig-author-founder-of-simplybe-when-women/id1484783544\u00a0\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/54b5e6O8d22GZJ6txY4qrm\u00a0\n\u27a1\ufe0f Watch the Podcast on YouTube\nhttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary", "country": "USA", "trackViewUrl": "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lessons-she-built-the-agency-everyone-wanted-then/id1484783544?i=1000787278266&uo=4", "trackTimeMillis": 813000, "episodeUrl": "https://arttrk.com/p/JNKR1/episode.flightcast.com/01M1FQSB2B80TMCHGT5YQZ2RZA.mp3", "previewUrl": "https://arttrk.com/p/JNKR1/episode.flightcast.com/01M1FQSB2B80TMCHGT5YQZ2RZA.mp3", "artworkUrl160": "https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Podcasts221/v4/c5/b6/21/c5b621f7-bb58-1405-256f-b0f52fe9afc5/mza_12421594012505380726.jpg/160x160bb.jpg", "episodeFileExtension": "mp3", "episodeContentType": "audio", "artworkUrl600": "https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Podcasts221/v4/c5/b6/21/c5b621f7-bb58-1405-256f-b0f52fe9afc5/mza_12421594012505380726.jpg/600x600bb.jpg", "feedUrl": "https://rss2.flightcast.com/l7xey1psb3ty8jkk6kkbx31a.xml" }, { "episodeUrl": "https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/OSSA3868717401.mp3", "artworkUrl160": "https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Podcasts221/v4/9a/76/40/9a7640fe-09f1-f84d-9355-19f165c668aa/mza_10593628835324998478.jpg/160x160bb.jpg", "artworkUrl600": "https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Podcasts221/v4/9a/76/40/9a7640fe-09f1-f84d-9355-19f165c668aa/mza_10593628835324998478.jpg/600x600bb.jpg", "episodeFileExtension": "mp3", "episodeContentType": "audio", "artistIds": [], "previewUrl": "https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/OSSA3868717401.mp3", "collectionViewUrl": "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-world-of-difference/id1524539420?mt=2&uo=4", "trackViewUrl": "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/after-the-exit-what-fiona-macaulay-learned-about/id1524539420?i=1000769768986&uo=4", "artworkUrl60": "https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Podcasts221/v4/9a/76/40/9a7640fe-09f1-f84d-9355-19f165c668aa/mza_10593628835324998478.jpg/60x60bb.jpg", "trackTimeMillis": 1952000, "contentAdvisoryRating": "Clean", "genres": [ { "name": "Business", "id": "1321" } ], "releaseDate": "2026-05-27T05:00:00Z", "shortDescription": "What happens when you spend 18 years building a company to $5 million in revenue across 80 countries, finally sell it, and then wake up with no idea who you are without it?

After two decades as a senior executive at Spotify, Audible, MTV, and Discovery \u2014 including executive producing Archetypes with Meghan Markle \u2014 she was laid off and started her own business. In this conversation she walks through the real mechanics of a midlife career change: the \"you're not your job\" reframe from her husband, the moment she realized her expertise was worth paying for, the under-pricing trap, and why being 52 is an asset rather than a liability.\nWHAT YOU WILL LEARN:\n[00:09:59]How Courtney decided to bet on herself and start consulting after a layoff[00:11:03]The signal that tells you your 20 years of expertise is worth paying for[00:14:06]The five-word mantra her husband gave her:\"You're not your job\"[00:26:08]The practical and financial considerations of starting your own business[00:28:33]How to set your consulting rates when you're starting out[00:31:17]Why 52 is a credibility marker, not a liability, in a midlife career change\nGUEST OFFER:\nSounds Great \u2014 Launch Podcast Accelerator \u2014 to find out more, email Courtney at: courtney@soundsgreatstrategy.com\nWebsite: https://www.soundsgreatstrategy.com\nPodcast: Talking the talk\nAdditional Guest References\nDeb Boulanger podcast:Life After CorporateThe Artist's Wayby Julia Cameron\nSPONSOR: Roots & Bloom -- follow on Instagram\nMention Her Intentional Reset for 20% off code of plant purchase.\nCONNECT WITH HIR\nInstagram @herintentionalreset.coFacebook @Her Intentional Reset.coWebsite:www.herintentionalreset.com\nIf HIR has been valuable to you, you can support the show here: Kofi Support The Show\nNo pressure \u2014 just making it easy for listeners who want to say so.\nMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):\nhttps://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/the-way-forwardLicense code: RVGOVVHKDJFBKVJC\nAbout the Show:\nHer Intentional Reset is a midlife podcast for women navigating career change \u2014 honest, deep-dive conversations about career pivots, second acts, and reinvention with women who've actually lived it. This women's empowerment podcast speaks to women in 30's, 40, women over 50, Gen X women, working moms, empty nesters, and corporate women dealing with burnout \u2014 women redefining success and finding their why after a layoff, a career wall, or the moment work just stopped feeling right. Each episode traces a real transition story: the catalyst for change behind it, whether that's a layoff story, career burnout, or hitting a wall; the steps and timeline behind how she actually made the change \u2014 quitting a corporate job, leaving corporate America, starting over professionally, and/or going from employee to entrepreneur; and an inside look at her industry along the way.\n \nThe conversations also get into the practical side most career-change content skips: transferable skills, upskilling and reskilling in midlife, starting a business with no experience, and career change without a degree.
