Why Klara started this show

When I was navigating my own crossroads — from corporate to pastry shop, back to corporate, and eventually to founding MOMpire — I was desperately looking for voices that understood what it actually felt like to be a mom trying to build something real.

Most career podcasts talked to people without kids. Most mom podcasts talked about motherhood, not careers. Nobody was talking to the ambitious corporate mom at the exact crossroads I was standing at.

So I started The Working Mom Show to be the voice I was looking for. Every episode is made for the woman who is still in her corporate job but already building something quietly on the side — or at least dreaming about it.

Free, always
No paywall. No upsell. Just Klara and her guests, talking honestly.

The Working Mom Show features real moms who have navigated the crossroads between corporate life and building something of their own. If that is your story — or you know someone whose story deserves to be heard — I want to hear from you.

I am especially interested in guests who can speak to: career pivots, corporate-to-entrepreneur transitions, building a business as a mom, identity shifts after children, and real stories of failure and reinvention.

🎙Corporate-to-entrepreneur stories
💼Career pivots and professional reinvention
🌱Building a business alongside a corporate job
💛Identity, motherhood and ambition
