When a Stable Corporate Job Costs Too Much | Why Liz M. Lopez Left
Liz M. Lopez, an executive coach, author and speaker, took a stable corporate job for security, then realized what it was costing her.
In this episode of We Are Women, Unapologetically, Liz and I discuss why she returned to corporate after building her own business, the expectations she placed on herself as an equal provider and the point when she knew the sacrifice was no longer worth it.
This is Liz’s personal story, not a verdict on any employer or every corporate role.
You’ll hear:
Why Liz asks “Is it true?” before deciding a stable job is the only safe option
The difference between your job and your career
How to decide which sacrifices are worth making
What pricing too low taught her about the doubts it can create
Why she chose to do it scared
What success without apologies means to her

Three Times Life Changed Her Plans What a Resilience Coach Did Next | Cynthia Conigliaro
How do you rebuild when infertility, a near-fatal cardiac emergency, and a permanent arm injury change the life you expected? Resilience coach Cynthia Conigliaro, founder of Workwell Webinars, joins Jessica Cumming to discuss grief, loss of control, identity after physical change, and adapting when returning to your old normal is no longer possible. Cynthia shares how gestational surrogacy, a heart rate of 16 that led to a pacemaker, and a permanently dislocated elbow tested the resilience she teaches others, while helping listeners recognize their own resilience stories without minimizing what they lost.
