from Women Walking · host Debbie Ventimiglia and Courtney Park-Jamborsky

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 16 of Women Walking, I’m joined by Grace Tran, a global health professional whose steady thoughtful voice you may already know from LinkedIn posts. Grace opens up about what happened after the Trump Administration’s executive orders that dissolved USAID and the long humbling  journey that followed: 400 job applications, 19 interviews, rejection, uncertainty, and the very real logistics about moving her family to Portugal while rebuilding her career.  But this isn’t a “pivot” story. Grace talks candidly about resilience and writing publicly while still in the thick of things. She writes and talks about starting her consulting company, not as a “reinvention,” but as a practical next step.The conversation is steady, honest, and real. It’s what so many women need right now. Check out Grace’s LinkedIn posts here https://www.linkedin.com/in/grace-tran-0912?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios
