Alexis (Skigen) Rago on Business, Divorce, and Raising Great Kids

When Alexis Skigen Rago was laid off from her corporate marketing job she knew that – as much as she loved her children - she wouldn’t be happy as a stay-at-home mom. Yet, returning to the corporate world – with its rigid culture and grueling time demands – was equally unappealing.  So Alexis took the bold step of starting her own marketing strategy consulting firm. During her career transition, Alexis also realized that her marriage had become a poor model for her children. She talks honestly about how she considered the traditional wisdom of “staying married for the kids,” and how that conflicted with her desire to teach her children how to BE in a relationship and a marriage.In this podcast episode, Alexis openly shares how she navigated balancing the demands of her new business with raising two boys and going through a divorce at the same time.
