Description

How do you fit a career change into an already busy life?

For Maria Evans, ‘The Juggle’ has always been a challenge. Children, work, aging parents, health conditions, diagnoses of neurodivergence… 

In this week’s episode, you’ll hear how Maria made her shift by focusing on what matters most in the latter stage of her career, and how she’s creating a working life that can flex, grow, and nourish her alongside a constant menu of competing priorities.
