The Good Girl Tax on LinkedIn (And How It's Costing You Visibility, Authority & Income)

If you've ever hesitated to post on LinkedIn… rewritten something five times… or thought, "Who am I to say this?" This episode is going to hit. Because what's actually happening isn't about confidence. Or credentials. Or even strategy. It's something deeper—and it's something I see in almost every brilliant, experienced woman I work with. I call it the Good Girl Tax. And it shows up everywhere on LinkedIn. In this episode, I'm unpacking: Why women consistently under-position themselves (even when they're more qualified) The subtle ways you're diluting your authority without realizing it Why LinkedIn rewards clarity—not perfection The real reason your work isn't "speaking for itself" anymore How visibility directly connects to income, opportunities, and influence If you've been doing all the right things in your career but still feel overlooked, under-recognized, or invisible online… this is the conversation. Because the cost of staying quiet? It's bigger than you think. And the shift to being seen? It changes everything.   Resources Mentioned In The Episode: Ready to build your authority (not just "be active" on LinkedIn)?
