148. FOMO part 2: the yeses you can't say anymore

This episode is a follow-up on the FOMO you feel once you become a parent. In this episode Andrea talks about what happens to your visibility once you’re a parent, and what’s in your control when it comes to still being seen, still growing, and not getting passed over.

In this episode, we cover:

• (00:00) Intro

• (02:15) Why working parents lose visibility at work

• (03:41) The "yeses" you used to say without thinking — and why they disappear once you're a parent

• (04:49) The gendered layer: invisible work, and who gets credit for it

• (06:56) Andrea's own example: in the flow, then "back on the clock as mom"

• (08:21) Handing over the reins at work — does it need 120%, or is 100% okay?

• (09:46) The reframe: stepping into a new era of leadership

• (11:17) You're a better professional because you're a parent now

• (12:12) Why the best leaders are the least hands-on

KEY TAKEAWAY

Once you became a parent, you became more efficient, more experienced, and better equipped to lead. Step into the leadership you're already living at home, and let it show up at work too.
