447: The Rules of the Game No One Explains


Listen Later

Have you ever watched a man get credit for an idea that came out of your mouth five minutes earlier?

...

Or noticed that the women around you somehow became the party planner, office therapist, note taker, and scheduler—on top of the job they were actually hired to do?

...

In this episode, we're talking about the rules of the game nobody explains when you work in a predominantly male industry. The unwritten rules. The invisible expectations. The things that affect your career, credibility, and leadership opportunities—but somehow never make it into the training manual.

...

You'll learn:

  • Why many women end up with a second, unofficial job description
  • What to do when your ideas are ignored until someone else repeats them
  • How to walk the tightrope between being "too soft" and "too aggressive"
  • Why some people get exceptions—and others don't
  • How to adapt to the room without losing yourself in the process

...

I also share a personal story about advocating for myself during one of the hardest periods of my career and what it taught me about speaking up, asking for help, and navigating systems that weren't built with us in mind.

...

If you've ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or exhausted from carrying responsibilities nobody acknowledges, this episode is for you.

...

Because you're not behind.

You're probably just missing the guidebook nobody gave you.
