Meet Becca

Welcome to When Mommy Grows Up! I’m Becca Carnahan, Career Coach, Writer, and Mom, dedicated to helping working moms land fulfilling jobs they love that fit their lives.

As a Career Coach, I help parents make their successful career transitions. We work together on career visioning, job search and entrepreneurial strategies, and effective storytelling. (We laugh a lot too!) 

As a writer and podcast host, I love to tell funny and relatable stories in my podcast, blog, and books

And as a mom, well, I’m busy chasing kids on bikes and scrubbing toothpaste off walls. (How do they always get toothpaste on the walls?)


What's Here?

When Mommy Grows Up started as a creative outlet for a working mom of two funny toddlers.

Since then, it has evolved from a blog into a book and podcast reaching thousands of moms like you!

When Mommy Grows Up is a must-read for any parent navigating the evolving phases of career and caregiving!

This book offers both space for reflection and a practical roadmap to start asking the right questions about what truly matters in your career and life. As someone who has successfully pivoted, I found the framework, tips, and real-life examples incredibly validating and useful. Becca helps you connect the threads of your story and uncover new possibilities—even while you're covered in kids!

With all of the content put in front of moms these days, this book offers insights, practical advice and exercises, and humor to help women be who they want to be as a mother. Becca's writing is relevant and authentic and approachable. It is easy to see yourself in her words. I found myself nodding and laughing, and more than once saying 'yes'!

I'm no stranger to working full-time, part-time and staying at home with kids. I get the challenge and reward deep in my bones of holding a career and family in tandem (and in the tension).

It can definitely be a laugh-cry situation 😂😭

So, if you're hankering for a career clarity guide and you're covered in kids, look no further. Becca reframes the lessons we teach our people into bite-size career advice that makes all the difference!
