Beyond the Career Gap: Reclaiming Confidence, Identity, and Purpose with Dr. Ann Marie Peters

This week on the KORE Women Podcast, Dr. Summer Watson talks with Dr. Ann Marie Peters, who is an executive coach, leadership strategist, and author of the forthcoming book, “We’ll Be Right Back.” Women step away from paid work for many reasons, motherhood, caregiving, burnout, health challenges, or unexpected life transitions. Yet, when they’re ready to return, they’re often confronted with a word that reduces those complex years to an empty space on a résumé: gap. Dr. Peters is challenging that narrative. In our conversation, we explore the identity shifts, grief, confidence challenges, and reinvention that can accompany a career pause, and why women shouldn’t have to apologize for chapters of their lives that may have developed some of their greatest strengths. This isn’t simply a conversation about getting back to work. It’s about recognizing who you’ve become, reclaiming the value of everything you’ve experienced, and stepping into what comes next with renewed purpose.
