Building a successful career often means making choices you never expected—and sometimes, those choices shape your entire life.

For Jeanne Sparrow, a decades-long career in television and radio brought incredible opportunities, meaningful relationships, and personal fulfillment. But along the way, she realized that demanding careers often require unconscious choices about family, relationships, and what truly matters.

Instead of dwelling on what might have been, Jeanne learned to embrace the choices she made, remain authentic, and define success on her own terms.

In this episode of Women and Work, Jeanne shares how mentorship, sponsorship, curiosity, and fearless authenticity helped her build a lasting career in media.
