In this episode of Over This Should, I sit down with Erica Rooney, an executive coach and author, to discuss empowerment and success strategies specifically for women. Erica shares her journey from corporate life to self-employment and emphasizes how important it is for women to know their worth and set boundaries to prevent burnout. We dive into how women can build meaningful connections, overcome limiting beliefs, and advocate for themselves in male-dominated spaces. Erica also highlights the critical role of male allies and offers actionable insights for women navigating both personal and systemic challenges in the workplace.

Key Takeaways:

• Breaking free from societal expectations is essential for women’s empowerment.
• Setting boundaries is crucial to maintaining work-life balance and avoiding burnout.
• Transitioning to self-employment requires careful planning and confidence.
• Recognizing your worth is a game-changer for women’s career progression.
• Intentional connections foster genuine and impactful relationships.
• Mindset shifts help women overcome limiting beliefs and embrace new opportunities.
• Male allies play a key role in supporting gender equality.
