The Confident Working Woman Podcast
I’m Sharon, HR professional with 30 years’ experience, working mom of two, leadership facilitator, and MAP-certified coach.
I built my confidence and business in the margins of a full-time job, while navigating fear, visibility, money pressure, and career uncertainty.
This podcast is for corporate women who want to feel safer, more confident, and more in control of their careers without quitting their jobs or burning out.
Here, we talk about:
• Career resilience in uncertain times
• Overcoming fear of being seen (especially on LinkedIn)
• Building visibility and reputation safely while employed
• Creating income options using your existing skills
• Emotional regulation, clarity, and confidence under pressure
• Real stories from a real working mom — no hustle, no perfection

The Confident Working Woman Podcast
128. Leading with Your Why with Samantha Cieslinkski, High School Health & PE Teacher, Podcaster, and Mom of 2
In this episode, I speak with Samantha Cieslinski, a high school health and PE teacher, podcaster and mom of two.
Samantha shares how she wrote her book, 100 Days of Happiness, as a means of coping with the isolation of having a baby during the pandemic in 2020.
Later, spurred by the desire to share stories of mothers who do so much behind the scenes, Samantha started a podcast, The Running Wine Mom, to highlight the stories of inspiring women in her community.
If you ever wondered how amazing women like Samantha manage to design a multi-faceted life filled with all the things they're passionate about, then this episode is for you! Hear how Samantha handles her day-to-day and finds time for all that's important to her.
