It’s been a year… we know. After a year-long pause, the Corporate Catholic Podcast is returning with an exciting look back at our first live podcast, recorded at the SEEK 2025 Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.Now several years into their consulting careers, Allison and Claire share some things they wish they knew when they first started working. From realizing your first job doesn’t define your future, to learning how work itself can become prayer, they dive into honest stories, practical wisdom, and the deep truth that God cares about your work and has a purpose for you exactly where you are.Whether you’re a student discerning a corporate career, early in your first job, or simply wondering how faith fits into work, this episode is a perfect reintroduction into who Allison and Claire are and why they started this podcast.

This week is a sister takeover! Claire's younger sister Bridget joins the podcast to have an honest conversation about her first couple months moving to Chicago and starting her first full time job in consulting. As someone who is very much still in the midst of that transition, she shares her experience navigating a difficult job market, adjusting to a new city, and being a woman in the heavily male-dominated energy & utilities industry.
