Rejoining Corporate after a Long Hiatus (Thoughts and Prayers Appreciated)

Picture this: you're the young and trendy person at the office, enjoying the start of your career and taking on all sorts of challenges, but you decide to put your career on pause to raise a family. Flash-forward ten years, and you decide to re-enter the workforce only to discover that everything has radically changed--from corporate jargon, tech and productivity app to the fact that you now feel like you're the dinosaur in the room. Pretty brutal. That's what happened to this episode's guest, Rachael Lubarsky, a funny and talented copywriter whose work has been featured in some of today's top digital media parenting brands, "Scary Mommy" and "The Dad."  It’s hard enough to feel like you have to prove your worth at a corporate job, but how do you navigate being the oldest (and, by default, being perceived as the most experienced person in the room), while at the same time, feeling a complete lack of confidence because of it? What does it feel like to report to people that are so much younger than you are? And people really have unicorn-themed parties at an office?
