Workshop 6: What I Would Advise a Younger Me?

If you could sit down with your 30-year-old self, what would you tell her about the choices ahead? This discussion explores the career and life decisions that shape us—from questioning whether the CMO track is really what you want, to figuring out if staying at big companies is actually easier, to navigating the reality of being a working mother. We'll talk honestly about work-life integration versus the myth of balance, share hard-won wisdom about setting boundaries as a mom, a manager, and discuss the personal questions that career advice rarely addresses: how do you build a full life while climbing the ladder? Come ready to share the insights you wish you'd had earlier and leave with perspective that might help the next generation make better choices.
