✨ Why does “working hard” still not guarantee equal pay or promotion for women?

💫 What if fitting in isn’t the way forward and being “likeable” matters more than we think?

🚫 The myth that acting like a man helps women get ahead (spoiler: it doesn’t).

In this episode of So Tell Me, we’re joined by Irina Alexandra — founder of Brightroom, ICF-certified coach, psychologist, and talent development expert — to talk about the real, often invisible rules that shape women’s careers.

Irina shares what she’s learned from leading teams, coaching professionals, and navigating the corporate world herself — including why likeability still plays a huge role, how gender expectations shape career paths, and what happens when we stop trying to fit into outdated molds.

This one’s for anyone questioning the rules of the game — and wondering what a better one could look like.
