What does it take to become a confident leader, build a successful career, and create a business you're passionate about?

In this inspiring episode of the Second Act Success Podcast, Shannon Russell sits down with engineering leadership strategist, executive coach, speaker, and mentor Sairan Aqrawi to discuss how women can build confidence, find their voice, and create meaningful careers without waiting for permission.

Although Sairan built an impressive career in engineering and construction leadership, she believes every professional has the opportunity to create a fulfilling second act by combining their expertise with their passions.

Together, Shannon and Sairan discuss why women often wait until midlife to pursue their dreams, how to start a business while still working full-time, and why your side business should become your "side haven," not another source of stress.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How to develop leadership confidence as a woman
• Why clarity, action, and consistency are the three pillars of success
• The difference between work-life balance and work-life integration
• How to build a business while keeping your full-time job
• Why your current career can fund your future dreams
• How women can create a successful second act without starting over
• Leadership advice for women in engineering, technology, and every industry

Whether you're considering a career change, exploring entrepreneurship, or looking for the confidence to take the next step toward your goals, this conversation will leave you inspired to create the career and life you truly want.
