  • Summary

  • Women are leaving the workforce—or at least stepping back—and we need to talk about why. In this episode, we’re diving into the big workplace study from McKinsey and Lean In, and let’s just say…the numbers aren’t great. A third of women are saying peace out to full-time work, promotions are still playing favorites (spoiler: not with women), and the whole “work-life balance” thing? Yeah, still a mess.

    But here’s the real question: Are we redefining success, or just tired of playing the game?

    In this episode of Open Doors, Lauren Douglass and Shannon Pruitt get into the “broken rung” problem, generational shifts in ambition, and whether success now means more than just climbing the corporate ladder. Plus, Shannon opens up about a major life milestone, Lauren shares her own winding path post-job loss, and we introduce a new segment that forces us to actually reflect on what we just talked about.

    It's a juicy one. Hit play and join the convo.
