What lights me up is helping parents find what lights THEM up. When we get to that light bulb moment together and the parents I work with land fulfilling jobs that fit their lives, it feels like magic.💡  

The career I've built as a career coach, writer, and founder of Next Chapter Careers 📖 lets me be part of light bulb moments on a daily basis. I work with moms and dads 1:1 and in small group coaching to help them find what brings them energy, fulfillment, and joy. Then we uncover the connections, find the words to tell their stories, and chart out a path to go get that next amazing role!

When the Zoom camera is off, I write articles and co-host the When Mommy Grows Up podcast 🎧 about careers and working parenthood, connecting the dots in new ways. That's the kind of interpersonal and creative work that gets me up in the morning ready to make my mark on the world. 🌎

How did we get here? Great question!

🏫 16 years at Harvard Business School in higher education career and professional development as a career coach for MBA students, alumni, and executive education participants, writer, and recruiting operations leader.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 10 years of parenting that has connected me with other mid-career parents on playgrounds all over who want to find fulfilling jobs they love without giving up the flexibility they need.

📚 A life-long love of writing and storytelling that has landed my thoughts and words on Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, TODAY, Fairygodboss, Huff Post, and NPR. (Plus 3 books - Check out When Mommy Grows Up: Finding Career Clarity While Covered in Kids, Belinda Baloney Changes Her Mind, and Benji Baloney Learns to Be Brave!)

🦴 A funny bone that likes to find humor in everything which makes the stressful world of job searching and working parenthood a whole lot easier.

Interested in working together? Let's talk about 1:1 coaching, group coaching, and personal branding programs to fit your needs.

🚨 New Role Alert! 🚨 

I'm happy to share that I have accepted the position of "League Champion" in my son's family fantasy football league.

And while it's an honor to be the Jack’s Fantasy Football league champion this season, I didn’t get here alone.

I’d like to thank the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills, whose players made up 3/4 of my roster.

Thank you to my internet connection for its reliability at noon when adjusting line-ups at the last minute.

Thank you to the league commissioner, who is really excellent at completing her very limited job responsibilities. Honestly, with all she has going on, raising two kids, paid work, and having fun writing things on the internet, I don't know how she does it.

Thank you to my husband for ordering this nameplate minutes after the Monday night football game that sealed the deal. Another year, another season of avoiding paying trophy shipping fees.

And most importantly, thank you to our family near and far for another fun season! 

Go Pats!

“Believe in yourself” is good advice. But sometimes it’s easier said than done.

We all have doubts, fears, and insecurities. That’s normal!

Watching my daughter at gymnastics, though, I’m constantly reminded that the fastest route to self-belief is to surround yourself with people who will believe in you FOR you.

That kind of energy rubs off. It energizes you. It gives you momentum!

So whether it’s in the gym, in your career, or in whatever arena you’re chasing big goals, find some great people to share the journey with.

That, my friends, is where the magic happens!

The week between Christmas and New Year's is about cheese and sweatpants.  🧀 

January 5th energy? That's a little different.

The holidays are over, routines are restarting, and that quiet question starts to surface: What do I actually want this year?

That's what the latest episode of When Mommy Grows Up is all about. Helping you get some answers to that question, but without all the pressure.

Tune in to the episode "Small Shifts, Big Year: Your 3-Step Career Reset for 2026" for a simple, mom-friendly reset to help you start the year with clarity and momentum.

🎧 Listen to the episode on the go
 📖 Or read the blog post in between email catch-up.

Small shifts really do create big years, and I'm excited to see what you'll be up to in 2026!
