Paving Your Path and Building Your Story: Insights from Karen Lesh

In this episode, Nicole talks with Karen Lesh! Karen is the vice president of marketing for a consumer packaged goods company and is the face behind MOBTRUTHS, a blog about her experience as a mother of boys.

Today, Nicole and Karen talked about :

1. [6:36] My mantra has always been, “I’m doing the best that I can under the circumstances”; sometimes, something has to give
2. [19:44] Not everything you do has to be about building your resume; there’s so much pressure on getting into the right college, the right program, go figure out what you’re gonna do next, etc.
3. [37:31] Stay true to yourself; there are a lot of forces within social media, such as imposter syndrome, etc., that are going to try to force you to do one thing versus another
