Infinitely More: Choosing Freedom, A Career Mom's Turning Point

“What’s it going to be, Mom? Money or happiness?”

This is the blunt question Amy Conway-Hatcher’s fourteen-year-old daughter challenged her with as she was deciding whether to leave her Big Law equity partner job.

Amy knew the climb was harder and longer for women. Tough, determined, and focused on her career, she persevered. Yet she didn't anticipate how gender barriers in male dominated systems could wear women down -- even her.

Amy was among women making bold career changes in 2021. Infinitely More is her journey to understand why.

Amy’s story is an intriguing, thought-provoking, and heart-opening discovery of how a warrior career mom was lured into believing she could win over the system and beat the odds. Her strategy works for years, but she learns even the toughest of warriors face reckonings.

Using her gift for advocacy, Amy sets the record straight on why highly-talented women leave big jobs and how leaders lose them. Through her own compelling story, she shares stark reflections and lessons learned about the messy realities and trade-offs career women must make when playing uneven games. With eyes wide-open, Amy reclaims her purpose and offers strategies and hopes for the future.

Amy's story is an "invitation" for other women to share their own stories. After all, what is extraordinary about Amy's journey is that it reflects reality for so many women. As we've normalized herculean climbs for women, a feat that sadly isn't sustainable nor desirable in the long run, women continue to pivot. Amy believes that if we don't take time to hear what women experience, we can't really understand the very real workplace challenges women continue to face. We won't be able to fix it.

Amy is paying it forward. All proceeds of Infinitely More will be donated to non-profits that support women and girls, including the Girl Up (UN Foundation), Together Rising, Women's Bar Association Foundation of the District of Columbia, and YoungLeaders.World.
