When your career keeps evolving, sometimes the biggest challenge is figuring out what kind of work is truly worth building your life around.

After years navigating male-dominated industries, leading large corporate teams, and adapting to completely different professional environments, Karen Ahrens eventually realized that being intellectually challenged wasn't enough. She wanted to create something she believed in—something that could become part of her legacy.

Now, as co-founder and CEO of Wait For Me, a personal assistant app, Karen is building a business while navigating motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the realities of starting over.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Navigating male-dominated workplaces

• Building confidence and adapting to different environments

• Why Karen left a successful corporate career

• Becoming a founder and taking the leap into entrepreneurship

• Motherhood, work, and finding flexibility

• What she learned about delegation and buying back time

• Why mentorship can change someone's career

• Building work that feels meaningful
