396. The Ten Rules I Broke That Made This My Most Confident Year Yet (In Business and Life)

This is how I really feel about getting older. I just survived another trip around the sun, and while I'm not one to celebrate birthdays, it has allowed me to reflect on where I'm at in my life now. I see a lot of women my age still carrying the weight of societal expectations, and it's time to stop being a "good woman" and stop playing by the rules. When you stop being the "good woman" and you stop apologizing for your desires, your whole world can change. People start treating you differently, and you suddenly become more sought after. In this episode, you will learn about: The expectations women grow up under and how it influences us. Why now is the time for you to start breaking the rules (and invite strategic rebellion). Society's narrative about your expiration date (and why it's irrelevant). What the "good woman" trap is and where the pressure actually comes from. An example of saying no confidently without the need to overexplain or justify it. How embracing rich woman energy changes the way I live my life. Why it's important to stay humble, without downplaying your achievements. Why we need more women talking about money.     Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.
