More Women Promoted

If you've ever stayed late, said yes to everything, and still wondered why you're not moving up, this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Irish executive coach and founder of 360 Leadership, Lucy Gernon, to talk about what's actually holding high-achieving women back. Spoiler: it's not your skills or your work ethic. If you're doing the work and not getting the credit, join me on March 9th for my workshop, From Invisible to Influential  to  learn how to create the right visibility with the right people for just $27.

Why people pleasing isn't just a personality trait. It's a childhood survival strategy that's quietly running your career decisions
How to redefine balance as a feeling rather than a schedule, and why that shift changes everything
The confidence move that helped one of Lucy's clients save her company $2.8 million and land a seat in strategic meetings
Why women wait for proof before speaking up and how to start sharing your ideas with conviction before you feel ready

If you're the person who works hard with your head down and waits for the right people to notice, this episode is going to hit close to home. I'm breaking down the three types of visibility that women in corporate tend to fall into, why two of them are quietly stalling your career, and what strategic visibility actually looks like in practice.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL LEARN:
Why reactive visibility (waiting to be asked) signals that you're a great executor but not an executive-ready leader
Why performative visibility (speaking up constantly) can actually create doubt instead of confidence in your leadership
What strategic visibility looks like and the specific behaviors that shift how leadership perceives you
How to influence decisions before you ever walk into the room
Why it's not about how much you say, but whether you're shaping how your organization thinks

If you have ADHD or suspect you might, this episode is for you. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 40s, after my entire corporate career. Here are the three shifts that helped me thrive as an executive with ADHD. Register for my delegation workshop at morewomenpromoted.com/delegate
I spent years believing my ADHD behaviors meant I didn't belong at the table. I was always late to meetings, struggled with detailed strategy documents, and watched my neurotypical peers seem to breeze through tasks that felt impossible for me. But here's what I learned: people with ADHD often make exceptional executives.
In this episode, I share my journey of getting diagnosed with ADHD at 43, why middle management is actually the hardest stage for people with ADHD, and the three specific shifts that allowed me to not just survive but thrive in executive roles.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL LEARN:
Why people with ADHD make great executives 
The one weakness-focused strategy that kept me stuck and what I did instead to finally break through to VP
Why "eat the frog first" advice doesn't work for ADHD brains and what to do instead
How to design your role and team to leverage your ADHD superpowers while delegating your weak spots
Why middle management might be harder for you than senior leadership (and why that's actually good news)
Whether you have ADHD, suspect you might, or just feel like conventional productivity advice isn't working for you, this episode will give you practical strategies to thrive in leadership.

I'm a big believer in human first. When you invest in the kind of human you want to be and your wellness, you also show up as a better leader. That's why I'm sharing my updated morning routine and the lifestyle changes I made to manage perimenopause symptoms naturally.
If you're navigating perimenopause and feeling fatigued, noticing body composition changes, or struggling with night sweats, this episode is for you. I'm pulling back the curtain on my entire daily routine and the four key areas where I made changes to feel stronger and more energized.
What You'll Learn:
The specific training changes I made to build strength and improve my cardiovascular health (hint: it's not just about running more)
Which adaptogens and supplements I added to reduce night sweats and manage stress naturally
My exact morning routine including what I eat before and after workouts to support recovery and energy
The diet changes that improved my resting heart rate and heart rate variability in just one month
Why I stopped doing certain wellness practices and what I'm focusing on instead for longevity
Whether you're in perimenopause or simply looking to optimize your health in your 40s, you'll walk away with actionable strategies you can start implementing today.

Delegation isn't a productivity hack. It's the difference between being seen as a great executor and being seen as a leader. In this episode, I break down the three lies keeping you stuck as a doer and how to shift your mindset today. Join my live workshop at morewomenpromoted.com/delegate to put this into practice.
If you're still doing too much at work—even though you have a team—this episode is for you.
I walk through the three lies high-performing women tell themselves about delegation, why these beliefs keep you indispensable but not promotable, and how to reframe delegation as leadership development (not dumping work). You'll also hear why men delegate more than women despite equal intentions, and what research tells us about the guilt and conditioning that holds us back.
What You'll Learn
The three lies you're telling yourself about delegation (and why they're keeping you stuck as a doer)
Why "it's faster if I just do it myself" is costing you your next promotion
How to stop assuming your team won't like tasks you don't like—and why that's holding them back too
The difference between being indispensable and being promotable
Why senior leaders are judged on decisions and team performance, not execution
