You know the freedom you desire is not compatible with your overly demanding corporate job. And while it has served you well, it’s time to choose yourself first and create a career that revolves around your lifestyle and the time and financial freedom you deserve. On your terms. Whether it’s the freedom to do the school run, or the freedom to do Yoga at 10AM on a Thursday, or the freedom to prioritize yourself (hello self-care Fridays), this is where you get to create a career that revolves around freedom! This is the No 1 podcast for black corporate high-achieving women, who want to step into another level of wealth, leave their corporate jobs, work for themselves and monetize their expertise. This is the Freedom Framework you’re going to learn all about on this podcast!

If you only take one thing away from this week’s episode, I want it to be this: there are other ways to get a promotion outside of being rewarded for hard work. You can actually plan your own promotion.
If you’re feeling doubtful, I completely understand—this is not the way we’re taught in corporate. No one else in corporate is even talking about this. But it IS possible…I know, because I’ve done it. And if no one else in corporate is going to tell you how, I’m happy to be the first!
This week, I’ll be telling you about…
- My experience with the mindset of “earning” promotions
- Why I used to be immersed in the “quiet quitter” mindset…and why I don’t support that ideology
- What happened when I shifted my mindset and began planning my promotions
If you’re feeling frustrated by constantly being overlooked when promotion season rolls around, you need to listen to this episode…and you need my Position to Promotion guide! The link to download can be found below!

In the corporate world, confidence is key when you’re looking to reach the next rung of the career ladder.
Unfortunately, no one is talking about what to do if you struggle with confidence—or why these silent expectations are placed on you in the first place.
Struggling with self-confidence in the workplace can have many causes, such as…
- The way you were raised
- Toxic work environments
- A preoccupation with past mistakes
These are just a few of the reasons you may not be displaying the kind of confidence people look for when assessing potential candidates for promotions. But no matter the cause, there are plenty of ways you can begin to build up your self-confidence and let go of the limiting beliefs holding you back. Listen now to hear my five tips for boosting your confidence in the workplace.

If I asked each of you listening to this podcast whether or not you’re suffering from self-worth issues, I think you’d probably say no…even if you are.
I’ve noticed an invisible stigma surrounding self-worth issues. Nobody wants to admit they struggle with self-image, especially in the workplace. But ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away…and if you don’t solve it, you may find your promotion dreams continually dashed because of it.
If you find yourself struggling with…
- Tying your identity to how MUCH you work rather than how WELL you work
- Constantly going above and beyond in order to prove to yourself that you belong there
- Having no activities or identity outside of work—when someone asks you what you do, you give them your title
- Feeling guilty for holding your boundaries and constantly compromising on them
…then you may have more difficulties with self-image than you think.
How do you stop compromising on this? Let me tell you how to boost your self-worth in order to prepare yourself to get to the next level in your career.

Last week, we discussed the five types of imposter syndrome, and how we can identify which one we suffer from and where it shows up in our work; this week, I want to talk about the root causes of imposter syndrome but most importantly, how to overcome imposter syndrome at work. Identifying the root cause is a huge step in overcoming it in your career.
For some, it stems from a single bad experience they may have had early on in their careers. For others, it could stem from their upbringing. For others, it could be limiting beliefs.
Everyone is different, and everyone has different places where their imposter syndrome has grown from. But if we can track down that root, it will be that much easier to fight off those lingering thoughts and fears that are holding us back from stepping into the roles we deserve.
Ready for the conclusion to my three-part series on imposter syndrome? Let's finish this series strong!

Are you showing up as a leader or a follower? Maybe you think being a shadow and working endless hours each day is the key to your promotion. For six to seven years of my ten-year career, I was working on the wrong things because I had the wrong presumptions of what it took to get a promotion. When I did get a promotion, I thought I got it because I was working hard, staying late, and going the extra mile. In this episode, I share the four secret ingredients to advancing your career into a leadership role without running out of hours each day.
Highlights from this episode:
- The misconceptions about getting promoted (2:47)
- Demonstrating your ability to lead (4:51)
- Leading yourself to lead others (7:43)
- Developing your leadership identity (10:17)
- Showing up in service to others (13:20)
- Taking responsibility and making decisions as a leader (14:36)
From today onwards, decide that you will take responsibility and start to wear the identity of a leader, respond and show up as a leader in every situation you can. As always, if you have questions or want to go through this and know you need the support, drop me a DM with the word elevate. We will talk about how I can support you in developing this leadership identity, and if you want to step into the next level in your career, I invite you to join me on a virtual career game plan call.
