Jennifer Gefsky

When Gefsky and her family moved to the suburbs from New York City, she was Major League Baseball's deputy general counsel (the organization's highest ranking woman), which meant commuting 2.5 hours a day.

"That really hurt," Gefsky told BuzzFeed. "I would leave by 7:15 a.m. and wouldn't get home until 7 p.m. From my kid's point of view, they never saw me, and from my employer's, that was the bare minimum."

"It was a difficult decision for me to 'retire,'" the mom of three explained. "[But] I was so exhausted at the time, and was so happy to exhale."
