SIGH. How are we still having to talk about this!?

There are rules in corporate that nobody writes down… but every woman learns the hard way.

In this episode, I’m breaking down 5 unspoken rules every corporate woman knows—the ones that quietly shape your reputation, your promotions, and how seriously you’re taken at work. From navigating likeability vs. competence, to understanding how perception impacts your growth, these are the career realities that HR doesn’t warn you about (but absolutely matter).

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not getting ahead, this episode will help you understand what’s actually going on behind the scenes—and how to play the game without losing yourself.

Whether you're early in your career or already in the workforce, this is your guide to corporate survival, office politics, and getting ahead as a woman at work.

URGENT OFFICE GOSISP SESSION! 

You may have seen a little bit on my Instagram stories, but I really needed to gossip with my team (you!) about this week. All I am going to say is- we need to debrief on the bob that is ruining my life. 

Thankfully hair grows back and it isn't that serious but lol- I needed to rant!

What happens when your life looks perfect on paper… but feels completely wrong?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Alessia Scauzillo — the creator behind Alessia Sculpt — who went from a high-performing career in corporate finance to completely rebuilding her life, career, and identity from the ground up.

Alessia is a wellness creator and founder of A Sculpt Body, where she’s built a community centered around balanced fitness, body confidence, and creating a life that actually feels good — not just one that looks good on paper.

In this conversation, we get into:

how to know when you’ve outgrown your life

the difference between being “fine” vs actually fulfilled

leaving a relationship, a career, or an identity that no longer fits

making decisions that feel terrifying… but necessary

and what it really looks like to start over

If you’ve been sitting with that gut feeling that something isn’t right — this episode is your sign.

Because sounding confident at work isn’t about being the loudest person in the room — it’s about being the clearest. If you want to be taken seriously before your experience fully catches up, this episode is for you.

LinkedIn doesn’t have to feel awkward, performative, or painfully corporate.

In this episode, I’m breaking down 3 simple, strategic ways to get noticed on LinkedIn — without sounding cringey, self-obsessed, or like you’re trying too hard.
