In this episode of Mom to MORE®, host Sharon Macey welcomes Leah Steinkirch, counselor, creative, and COO of Prowess Project. Leah’s path has taken her from counseling and corporate work to stay-at-home motherhood, side hustles, and now helping moms re-enter the workforce with flexible, meaningful careers.

She shares how motherhood reshaped her trajectory, why she calls her career a “patchwork quilt,” and how flexibility became her greatest strength. Leah also opens up about thriving as an introvert, the soft skills moms bring to the table, and the importance of boundaries.

Tune in as Sharon and Leah explore transferable mom skills, re-entering the workforce, and how saying no can open the door to what really matters. Leah’s journey is a reminder that creativity, courage, and impact can flourish in every season.
