About this episode

Carol Evans discusses her career as a champion for working mothers and diversity, sharing personal stories of loss and resilience.

Many of America's corporate leaders know the name Carol Evans. It's synonymous with working mother. Carol is a woman I admire greatly. She has been a champion of working mothers, of working families, and of diversity andinclusion in the workplace and in the public sector. Carol has devoted time not just to running her businesses, but she has taken her energy to politics on a national stage working to elect the next woman president and fighting for Democrats. In that time, Carol has twisted the barrel of her career morethan once. And during that time, she suffered amother's heartache in losing her daughter. In a conversation that ranges from the silly to thevery serious, Carol takes us through her remarkable kaleidoscope career. 00:00 Meet Carol Evans00:09 Champion for Working Families00:17 From Business to Policy00:28 A Kaleidoscope Career00:40 Loss and Resilience00:45 What to Expect00:54 Stay With Us Recommended: Carol's Book: This Is How We Do It: A Practical Guide for the Working Mother Writer Sue Monk Kid Theater: clubbed thumb | funny, strange, and provocative new plays About Helen & This Kaleidoscope Career I’m Helen Jonsen, the founder of helen jonsen media and This…
