028: Leadership, Parenting and the Stories Women Carry with Shayna Bergman

028: Leadership, Parenting and the Stories Women Carry with Shayna Bergman

Women in leadership are carrying more than titles. They are carrying stories. Expectations. Invisible labor. The cultural scripts that tell them to be everything to everyone while staying quiet about what it costs.

Today we sit down with Shayna Bergman, an executive coach working at the intersection of leadership, parenthood and purpose. Shayna brings a sharp, honest and deeply human lens to the challenges women never feel permitted to voice. The impossible standards. The guilt. The push to excel at work and be fully present at home. The belief that everyone else is handling it better than we are.

We explore:
• The invisible load women leaders carry and how it shapes their careers and their homes
• Why the idea of “having it all” has never supported us
• The myth of work life balance and how it reinforces shame instead of relief
• The inherited narratives that keep women over-functioning, over-giving and overwhelmed
• What redefining success looks like when you refuse to burn out or shrink yourself

Shayna also shares a pivotal moment from her corporate career that revealed the subtle yet persistent bias women learn to endure. Her turning point mirrors the experience of far too many women which is precisely the problem.

This conversation is for the women who are leading at work, raising humans at home and quietly wondering if there is a different way to live.
