Podcast Overview

Career evolutions can look like bold visible changes, or quieter internal challenges of identity shifts and questions of self-doubt that feel impossible to ignore. This podcast explores the career seasons people find themselves in and how they move through them. It's not just when someone finds a new job, but also falls out of love with one, crafts their own leadership style, rebuilds confidence, leans back in after a setback, or redefining success on your own terms and going after it. Hosted by Hope Chauland, certified coach and product marketing mentor, the show features honest, reflective conversations with her coaching clients and influential industry professionals. Together, they explore pivotal moments where something no longer fits, clarity feels just out of reach, or confidence needs rebuilding and what it truly takes to evolve. This isn't a podcast about quick fixes, career hacks, or dramatic reinvention. It's about coaching conversations with people who gave themselves permission to evolve with intention and share insights in a safe supported space, before taking one act of bravery at a time to step into what's next.

Guest Story - 03 - Mary Sheehan on ambition, motherhood, and redefining what's possible

<p>🎙️In this episode of Career Evolutions, I'm joined by Mary Sheehan, product marketing leader at Adobe and founder of the program Propel Yourself, supporting ambitious working mums in tech.</p> <p>This isn't a conversation about "having it all".</p> <p><strong>It's about what happens when:</strong></p> <p>👀 your career and motherhood collide<br /> 👀 your capacity changes, but your ambition doesn't<br /> 👀 you're trying to figure out what's next, without losing yourself in the process</p> <p>Mary describes that moment in 3 words: exhausted, FOMO, and overwhelmed.</p> <p>And I can honestly say as a mother myself… I felt every one of them at some point too.</p> <p><strong>Together, we explored:</strong></p> <p>👉🏼 the identity shift that reshapes your relationship with work<br />

What is Career Evolutions with Hope Chauland?

Career evolutions can look like bold visible changes, or quieter internal challenges of identity shifts and questions of self-doubt that feel impossible to ignore.

This podcast explores the career seasons people find themselves in and how they move through them. It's not just when someone finds a new job, but also falls out of love with one, crafts their own leadership style, rebuilds confidence, leans back in after a setback, or redefining success on your own terms and going after it.

Hosted by Hope Chauland, certified coach and product marketing mentor, the show features honest, reflective conversations with her coaching clients and influential industry professionals. Together, they explore pivotal moments where something no longer fits, clarity feels just out of reach, or confidence needs rebuilding and what it truly takes to evolve.

This isn't a podcast about quick fixes, career hacks, or dramatic reinvention. It's about coaching conversations with people who gave themselves permission to evolve with intention and share insights in a safe supported space, before taking one act of bravery at a time to step into what's next.
