If you're thinking about returning to the workforce but don't know where to start, this episode shares how to get started. When women are returning, they usually return for the following three reasons:

1. They are finding themselves

2. They need to support themselves financially

3. They are looking for fulfillment

Join us for an episode that shares the steps you take if you are at the very beginning of your journey.

Heather Nemelka interviews Andrea Farnsworth, a former full-time mom, who re-entered the workforce when her kids were in school. She became the school librarian without any experience but had a love for books. School was starting in two weeks, and she had only one day to apply. She had no resume, but with her oldest daughter's help, she finished it and applied. When she didn't hear anything back, she contacted the school principal to follow up. After expressing her interest again and sharing her availability, she got a call back and eventually got the job! She since has gone on to become a career coach for students at the University of Utah and loves her job.

In this episode, we sit down with Vanessa Croshaw, professional violinist turned home organizer, Airbnb superhost, and entrepreneur—who also happens to be a mother of five. Her journey is a powerful testament to the beauty of reinvention and the confidence it takes to step into something new.

We talk about the mindset shifts required to move from artist to business owner, how motherhood secretly prepares you for entrepreneurship, and the small but mighty steps it takes to overcome self-doubt. She shares what it was like to build a business without a “business background,” how she learned to trust herself, and what helped her move past her biggest fears.

You’ll also hear practical advice for getting started as an entrepreneur and how to create space--physically and emotionally--for your next chapter.

Whether you’re thinking about starting a business, exploring a new career, or simply ready to do something for you again, this episode is filled with encouragement, real talk, and the reminder that you are more capable than you know.
