About this listen
In this episode of Less Than Expert, we’re talking about something that rarely gets celebrated at work: taking a step back on purpose.
We sit down with two women who chose to slow their careers down without walking away entirely. Instead of chasing the next promotion or following a prescribed ladder, they intentionally redesigned their roles to better support their lives, energy, and priorities right now.
We talk honestly about:
- Why “more” isn’t always better
- Letting go of someone else’s timeline and script for success
- Redefining ambition outside of titles and promotions
- The emotional and financial realities of stepping back
- What it looks like to choose sustainability over burnout
This conversation challenges the idea that success only moves in one direction. Sometimes growth looks like less pressure, more clarity, and work that fits your actual life.
Whether you’re feeling burned out, questioning your career path, or just wondering if there’s another way to do work without blowing everything up, this episode is for you.
Because maybe the real flex isn’t climbing higher… It's choosing what works.
