In today’s episode, Casey sits down with Tara Perry, an experienced recruiter, AVP & Director of Permanent Services at Robert Half in Vancouver — and a mom of two who understands firsthand what it means to build a career while navigating the complexities of motherhood, identity, and life transitions.
Tara has supported countless women through career changes, re-entry into the workforce, and major professional pivots. She brings a grounded, compassionate perspective to what women are facing in midlife: shifting ambition, evolving confidence, and the desire to find work that feels meaningful in this season.
Casey and Tara first met during a time of rediscovery in Casey’s own career journey — and the clarity and wisdom Tara offered became the spark for this conversation.
Together, they explore:
• How women’s career paths evolve in midlife
• What women are craving most at work in this season
• Re-entering the job market with confidence
• The realities of balancing ambition, identity, and family
• What employers are really looking for right now
• How to navigate pivots, uncertainty, or feeling “stuck”
• Why self-trust, clarity, and community matter more than ever
This episode is for every woman reimagining her work, identity, or purpose in midlife — and wondering what comes next.
Let’s dive in.
