// Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Letting Go—Embracing Naïve Joy

from The Flourish Careers Podcast · host Jennifer Smith

What happens when you listen and act on your intuition? A beautiful partnership and a bold collaboration begin. Today, we’re kicking off a very special season—one dedicated to celebrating the women behind the book Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Letting Go. To launch the series, I’m joined by the dynamic duo who brought this project to life: Jen Pestikas and Hope Mueller. Together, they describe their collaboration as naïve joy—a blend of trust, inspiration, and the belief that something magical happens when women come together to share their stories. In this heartfelt conversation, we explore the spark behind the Brave Women at Work book series, why letting go became the theme of this latest collection, the courage it takes to release old identities, roles, or expectations, and an extra-special behind-the-scenes peek at the magic that unfolded along the way. Whether you’re navigating a career pivot or simply feeling the call to release something, you’ll feel supported here. Stay tuned—this season is packed with stories that are honest and wildly inspiring. 📗 Buy the book!
