A Step Back Step Forward Career with Sarrah Le Marquand

from Women At Work · host Samantha Sutherland

Here's a career pattern you'll recognise: first, you're young, ambitious and driven, then kids arrive and you step back. A Nobel prize was actually awarded for research into that step back - so it's officially very common.  Side note, Your husband's career carries on uninterrupted while you manage everything. Then as the kids get older, you step forward again. And if you had school-age kids during the pandemic, that was a huge couple of years of homeschooling and – generally – pretty difficult work experiences. This path describes today's guest perfectly. Sarrah Le Marquand is Head of Entertainment at News Corp Australia, founding editor-in-chief of Stellar, and host of the award-winning podcast Something To Talk About. She's also an ambassador for Women's Community Shelters, supporting women and children experiencing domestic violence. Now, she's got teenage kids and is navigating separation - all while running this incredible career she's built back up. She's here to talk about those distinct career chapters, and what comes next when you're not starting over but you are starting fresh.
