We examine these real life challenges of women who are climbing the corporate ladder, growing their own business, and navigating the complex juggle of work and family.

Facing uncertainty can feel safer than stepping into a completely new chapter.
For Corinne Pierog, every major career transition required courage—from leaving a dismissive workplace, to raising two children as a single mother, building a consulting business, and eventually entering politics later in life.
After years of saying no to opportunities that felt intimidating, Corinne decided to walk through a door she had long been afraid to open. Running for state office taught her lessons about leadership, resilience, public service, and the impact one person can have on an entire community.
In this episode of Women and Work, Corinne shares how she navigated career pivots, motherhood, entrepreneurship, grief, and public leadership while staying true to her values:
• Overcoming bias as a young woman in the workplace
• Building confidence after difficult career experiences
• Raising children as a single mother
• Creating stability while balancing work and family
• Starting a consulting business later in life
• Learning to embrace career risks
• Running for political office for the first time
• Finding purpose through public service
• The importance of mentors and lifelong learning
• Why courage often comes after fear—not before it
What opportunity have you been hesitant to pursue because it feels outside your comfort zone?
