Women and Work
Podcast Description
The workplace can feel very different for women than for men. Women often feel they have to prove themselves, that they’re evaluated by how they look, or that their opinions are not respected. They feel Mom Guilt for leaving their kids while they pursue a career and worry about taking a job that fuels their passion instead of their pocketbook. 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. We explore how women like you can make work fit your life, not the other way around.

Trying to do it all—and still feeling like it’s not enough—can quietly lead to burnout.
After years of climbing the corporate ladder, Sophia Mikelionis hit a breaking point. The constant pressure to overperform at work while being fully present at home left her exhausted, disconnected, and questioning everything.
Instead of pushing through, she made a bold decision: step away, reset, and rebuild her life on her own terms.
Today, Sophia is an executive consultant helping women leaders avoid burnout, redefine success, and create sustainable careers that actually fit their lives.
In this episode, we talk about:
• The hidden cost of “doing it all”
• Why small sacrifices add up to burnout
• How to recognize early warning signs
• The power of stepping back—and starting over
What would it take for you to choose yourself before burnout forces you to?
