Hey listener,

Have you ever been overlooked at work?

Or for the women in the room, perhaps you’ve sat in a meeting, spoken up with an idea, and then watched it get ignored—only for a male colleague to say the same thing and get praised for it.

Maybe you’ve worked tirelessly on a project, only to have your contributions downplayed or dismissed.

I know that feeling all too well.

In this week’s episode of The Brave Collective, I’m sharing a personal story of when I was overlooked in a professional setting—despite having done the hard work and showing up fully prepared. Instead of letting it shake my confidence (like it did earlier in my career), I used it as fuel to reinforce what I already knew: I belonged in that room.

This episode is all about how to:
✅ Recognize bias without letting it define you
✅ Build unshakable confidence, even when you feel unseen
✅ Advocate for yourself and take the lead in your career
✅ Pave the way for other women, so fewer of us have to fight the same battles

I truly believe this conversation is one we need to keep having, and I’d love for you to be part of it. If you’ve ever felt overlooked but know you’re meant for more, this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen in now

And if this episode resonates, hit reply and let me know—have you ever experienced something similar? I’d love to hear your story.

Until next time, keep leading with confidence.
