  • Stop Waiting to Be Noticed: The 3 Types of Visibility and Why Only One Gets You Promoted
    Feb 23 2026

    Are you working hard but still being overlooked? The problem might not be your performance; it's that no one in leadership knows the impact you're actually having. Learn how to start getting recognized at work at morewomenpromoted.com/workshop.

    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

  • How I Became an Executive with ADHD (The 3 Shifts That Changed Everything)
    Feb 16 2026

    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.

  • My Perimenopause Morning Routine: Simple Changes for More Energy and Strength
    Feb 9 2026

    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.
