Loading player...
What happens when life hits pause on your career? This Winning Women Wednesday, Katie Mohamed and Sam Marshall unpack the art of the strategic relaunch—whether you’re returning from maternity leave, a sabbatical, or a decade-long detour.

🔥 Key Moments:

03:45: "You don’t decay—you upgrade" – Why gaps build wisdom, not weakness.

12:30: The "returnship vs. relaunch" divide (and how to flip judgment into strength).

18:15: Katie’s bold take: "Relaunch your look—aesthetic shifts trigger internal power."

25:00: Employer blind spots—why companies miss gold in "paused" talent.

💡 3 Relaunch Rules:

Own your narrative: "I didn’t stop—I evolved."

Upskill strategically: Bridge tech/AI gaps before re-entry.

Demand support: Surround yourself with cheerleaders, not critics.
