Welcome to Garage to Goliath. I’m Dan Quiggle, and I’m honored to have Becca Carnahan joining us today. Becca is a published author, career coach and proud mother of two. She received her master’s from Harvard School of Education and has spent the last twelve years coaching people from all walks of life through discovering their passions and career sweet spots, while the majority of her career has been spent working on the Harvard career and professional development team. 

She took the leap and started her own career coaching business two years ago. She published her first book When Mommy Grows Up as a Way to encourage working moms with not just advice and resources, but much needed humor through her work. 

She created a community for not only working moms, but anyone looking to reimagine their dreams and truly love the work they do at any stage in their life.
