94 | You Did Everything Right, So Why Isn’t Your Career Advancing?
Fri Feb 06 2026
Have you ever had the quiet thought, “I followed the advice… so why does this feel harder now?”
This episode is for high-performing working women who did what they were told would work, built credibility, showed up consistently, and still feel like their career momentum has slowed.
Because there is a point where the advice that helped you rise stops being the advice that helps you advance.
And no one really names that transition.
In this episode, we unpack why the same career advice works for some women and backfires for others, and why stalled growth is often a recognition issue, not a confidence problem.
You’ll hear:
✅ Why effort-based advice stops working at higher levels
✅ How leadership actually recognizes value and readiness
✅ Why two women can follow the same advice and get very different outcomes
✅ The hidden cost of applying incomplete career strategies
✅ How misalignment, not mindset, creates stalled growth
We also talk about why growth can start to feel like self-improvement instead of expansion, and how that leads capable women to question themselves when the system is actually the issue.
If you’ve been wondering: “I know I’m capable of more.” “I feel ready for something bigger.” “I just don’t understand why this feels harder now.”
This episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.
You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re navigating a shift most women are never taught how to recognize.
And naming it is the first step to changing it.
