Ep 111 - You don't need fixing
You don't need fixing. You're not broken. And there's nothing wrong with you.
In fact, the thoughts and feelings you're having and the challenges that you're facing at work are completely normal.
Not only do I want you to know that, I also want you to understand why you might be feeling that way.
In this week’s episode, I talk about the systemic gender bias that women face at work and how the daily experiences of being undervalued, unheard and not fitting in causes many women to doubt and criticise themselves, and question their worth.

MORE ABOUT THE CAREER DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY
The career development community I'm creating for women is almost ready to pilot. My aim is for it to be an all-in-one solution for female talent development from early careers to senior leaders. To start with it will be a brilliant library of career development resources combined with an online community and spaces for women to come together and support each other.
I will be running a free beta version from 1 October – 31 December 2022 to build the community and refine the idea. To be part of it, you just need to pre-order my book and send a copy of your receipt to [email protected] with the subject line “Pre-Order”, or join my launch book squad!
