What does burnout really look like when you love your job, but your family is paying the price?

Mollie Bodensteiner, VP of Revenue Operations at ZoomInfo, shares the moment she realized her career had taken too much from life at home, and why stepping away from a role she loved became the right decision. Together with Mallory Lee and Shannon Curran, she reflects on ambition, burnout, shifting priorities, and learning to redefine success without letting go of a meaningful career.

Throughout the conversation, they explore working mom guilt, protecting personal boundaries, building healthier work environments, leadership through leverage instead of overwork, and the ongoing challenge of balancing career growth with being present at home.

If you're a working mom navigating burnout, ambition, identity, or trying to build a career without sacrificing what matters most, this episode offers an honest perspective that will resonate.
