Sumario:This article analyzes how the careers of women entrepreneurs are built from the theoretical lens of the Sustainable Career. Qualitative and interpretive research was conducted using the life story method with two women entrepreneurs who developed sustainable enterprises. The study identified in the narratives the emergence of influential factors in their careers, such as disorienting dilemmas, motherhood, rejection of corporate models, the search for quality of life and self-fulfillment, as well as long daily working hours and difficulties in reconciling their professional activities with their other roles. Sustainability appears as a central element, whether in relation to their careers, as in their enterprises, which differ from other individualistic ways of entering the world of work, considering that they value and act in favor of collective well-being.
