Episode 11 Pivoting with Purpose: A Mother-Son Interview

Virginia Markman Season 1 Episode 11

In episode 11 of She’s Working On It, I’m thrilled to share my first-ever interview! Before diving in, I highlight an inspiring SmartLess interview with Tim Walz and recommend Space with Case, a podcast by Casey O'Connell, a former teacher turned digital nomad and UX designer, whose journey to redefine her life and career has been incredibly motivating.

Today’s guest is my son, Isaac, who’s also making a major pivot—from teaching and non-profits to fashion and museum curation. He shares his journey toward a master’s at FIT, his creative projects in Mexico, and how he’s finding a new path. Join us for an honest conversation about change, purpose, and pursuing new passions!
