I'm back! In this episode, I’m welcoming you back to the podcast and opening Season 3 with a new chapter—one shaped by a year of reflection, writing, and deep work with women navigating their careers in Pharma and Biotech.

After a year-long hiatus, I’m sharing why I stepped away, what changed while I was gone, and what you can expect moving forward. I also introduce my upcoming book, Your Worthy Career: A Science-Backed Method to Build a Meaningful Career in Pharma and Biotech, releasing February 24.

This episode sets the tone for the season and speaks directly to women who want clarity, agency, and a practical path forward—especially in an uncertain industry and market.

• Why I paused the podcast and what brought me back
• What’s ahead and who this podcast is for
• How uncertainty in Pharma/Biotech is impacting women right now
• What inspired my book and what’s inside it
• How to stay connected and get involved in the book launch
