ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Empowered Women Life Leaders, Karen Bashford talks with business owner and former corporate project manager Maria Newman about thriving as a woman in a male‑dominated environment, burning out twice, and finally choosing a life she leads on her own terms. Maria shares how childhood conditioning, corporate culture, and the pressure to “prove yourself” can quietly drive women to exhaustion, and why boundaries, conscious choice, and taking the driver’s seat in your own life are essential for both career and family. This is a powerful conversation for any woman standing at a crossroads, questioning her career, relationships, or what “success” really means.
