Choosing between your career and your family shouldn't have to be the only option.

After becoming a mother, Marla Fronczak stepped away from a demanding career because she didn't realize flexible work arrangements were even possible. She reinvented herself as a real estate appraiser to gain more control over her schedule, overcame gender bias in a male-dominated industry, and eventually discovered a passion for serving older adults that led her to become CEO of AgeGuide.

In this episode of Women and Work, Marla shares how finding champions, embracing career pivots, and advocating for flexible workplaces helped her build a meaningful career without losing sight of what mattered most.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• Why she left her first career after becoming a mom

• Finding flexible work through entrepreneurship

• Facing discrimination as a woman in real estate appraisal

• The importance of mentors and career champions

• Reinventing your career at any stage of life

• Supporting working caregivers in today's workplace

• Why flexibility benefits both employers and employees

• Preparing for retirement while continuing to make an impact
