Why Some Women Get Ahead at Work (And Others Don’t)

Why do some women always seem to get the opportunities, promotions and insider information… while others work just as hard and get overlooked?

It’s not luck. And it’s not talent.

It’s something most working moms don’t even realise they’re missing.

Most working moms don’t have a time problem, they have a network problem.

In this episode, I sit down with Beth Mazza, co-founder of Female Mavericks and author of Entrepreneur Like a Mother, to unpack the real reason some women get ahead faster than others.

Beth introduces the concept of a “Kitchen Cabinet”, a small, intentional network of people who help you make better decisions, open doors and navigate your career with confidence.

We talk about:

Why traditional networking doesn’t work for moms

The 3 types of people every woman needs:

Cheerleaders

Connectors

Compensators

How to reach out to people (without feeling awkward)

Why women hesitate to ask for help, and how to change that

The “1 in 5 rule” that removes fear of rejection

How to build powerful connections in just 15 minutes at a time

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still being overlooked… this episode will change how you think about your career.
