Manage episode 508616107 series 3687097
You’re great at your job, but your paycheck doesn’t reflect it.
Sound familiar?
In this episode Sharon dives into why so many midlife women are overworked, underpaid, and stuck in cycles of burnout - even when they’re excelling at work.
Drawing on research and lived experience, Sharon unpacks the hidden traps that keep women stuck: being valued for loyalty instead of growth, mistaking exhaustion for worth, and carrying invisible work that rarely gets rewarded.

- Why being “needed” isn’t the same as being valued
- How loyalty and invisible work quietly hold you back
- The link between burnout, boundaries, and underpayment
- Practical ways to say no without burning bridges
