In this episode I chat with my mom, Marty, about her experience as a woman and a mom in the insurance industry from the early 1970s until the 2000s. She discusses:
- The roles women were in during the 70s and how she helped change that
- Being one of the first female outside claims adjusters and the challenges she faced
- Being denied paid time off and losing seniority in 1977 after she had her first child
- Harassment by a male coworker after a promotion
- How she handled work stress while being a wife and mom
- How all her hard work paid off with multiple promotions
- The support she received to make all of this possible
