In this episode, we sit down with Dara Astmann, a career clarity coach who helps women and moms confidently navigate their next career chapter with clarity, confidence, and support. Dara shares her personal journey from spending 14 years at Paramount to building a coaching practice focused on helping ambitious women design meaningful second acts — without guilt or burnout.
Throughout the conversation, we talk about what it really looks like to pivot careers, the mindset shifts required to step into something new, and how personalized coaching and community can make a huge difference when you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Dara also explains how she supports both women who are reentering the workforce and those who are launching or growing their own businesses.
Since this episode was recorded during the start of the new year, we also dive into New Year’s resolutions, realistic goal-setting, and how to create momentum that lasts beyond January. Dara shares practical advice on how to turn intentions into action and build sustainable success while still balancing family, personal goals, and professional growth.
Whether you’re figuring out what’s next in your career, thinking about starting a business, or simply craving more clarity and confidence in your professional life, this episode offers encouragement, insight, and real strategies to help you move forward with purpose.
