What Motherhood Teaches You About Leadership and Work | Deborah Winters

In this episode, Deborah Winters, founder of Deborah Winters Coaching LLC, shares the deeply personal journey that led her from a career in media research to becoming a licensed clinical therapist, parent coach, and author — all while raising two young children.Deborah didn’t follow a straight line. She left a successful career while pregnant with her first daughter, went back to school with a nine-month-old at home, and spent nearly a decade completing her clinical hours and certifications. By the time she finished, her daughter was nine — a reminder that meaningful growth often happens slowly, behind the scenes.What makes her story especially powerful is how motherhood shaped her professional clarity. Working with children showed her that real change doesn’t start in institutions — it starts at home. That insight pushed her to focus on parents, develop her PCN Method (Perspective, Communication, Nurture), and eventually build a coaching practice and write Building Your House of Harmony.From a business standpoint, Deborah’s journey is a reminder that reinvention is not failure — it’s evolution. Skills compound. Experience transfers. And listening closely to the people you serve often reveals the next step before you’re ready to admit it.For entrepreneurs, parents, and professionals feeling the pull toward something new, this conversation reinforces an important truth: you don’t have to have it all figured out — you just have to be willing to begin again.🎧 Full episode available now.#CareerReinvention #WomenInBusiness #EntrepreneurJourney#WorkingMoms #MotherhoodAndCareer #LicensedTherapist#ParentCoach #PersonalDevelopment #LeadershipGrowth#BusinessLessons #PodcastClips #NewYorkBusiness#TrustTheProcess #CareerPivot #ModernEntrepreneur
