I Work Hard But They Don't See Me: The Visibility Trap

Hey you — I was thinking about you.
And if you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard, carrying the weight, doing everything right… and yet somehow still being overlooked — this episode is going to shift something in you.

This is The Visibility Trap — the mindset and cycle that keeps high-performing women stuck, unseen, under-recognized, and exhausted.

In this 27-minute episode, I break down the truth nobody tells you:

Hard work is NOT a visibility strategy.
And being the “go-to person” is not what gets you promoted.

Together we’re going to uncover:
✨ Why people with less experience jump ahead of you
✨ Why visibility matters just as much as value
✨ The mindset traps that dim your presence
✨ How perfectionism keeps you invisible
✨ What your work can’t do for you — but your voice can
✨ How to stop shrinking and start standing in your impact

And I walk you through how the SOAR Framework (Self-Reflection, Overcoming Obstacles, Action Planning, Resilience) helps you break this cycle once and for all.

If you’re tired of being the “best-kept secret,” it’s time to fix that.

Let’s get visible.
Let’s get valued.
Let’s SOAR.
