Most career advice obsesses over mentorship. But that's only half the story.

If you're a high-achieving woman who's been doing everything right and still feeling stuck, this episode will make some things click into place.

Traditional career wisdom says find mentors, get guidance, learn from people ahead of you. All good advice. But here's what gets left out: mentors give advice. Sponsors give access. And that second part? That's where real movement happens.

In this episode, I'm talking about why women and barrier breakers end up over-mentored and under-sponsored, and what you can actually do about it. If you've been waiting for your work to speak for itself, this conversation might shift how you think about career growth.

What We Cover:➡️ The real difference between mentorship and sponsorship (and why it matters)➡️ Why people with sponsors are 5x more likely to be promoted➡️ How to spot potential sponsors whose goals match your strengths➡️ The approach that builds sponsor relationships without begging for favors➡️ My personal story about how one lunch completely changed my business➡️ Your action plan: becoming someone worth advocating for
