Still waiting for someone to notice your leadership potential, promote your brilliance, or reward your loyalty?

Mama, it’s time to stop playing small and start leading loud.

In this episode, I sit down with neuroscience-based executive coach Yosi Kossowsky to unpack the hidden habits that are sabotaging your career growth—and what it really takes to be seen, respected, and paid like the leader you are.

This isn’t about doing more—it’s about owning your value and shifting how you show up.

We dive into:

• Why apologetic communication is holding you back (and how to fix it with confidence)
• What neuroscience reveals about your leadership blind spots
• The simple shift that changes how others perceive your value—fast
• How to advocate for your schedule, your needs, and your next big move without guilt

If you’ve ever dimmed your light to keep the peace, second-guessed your ask, or waited for permission to lead—this episode is your call to rise.

Feel Like You’re Doing Everything “Right” but Still Burnt Out?

👉 Tried all the planners, morning routines, and productivity hacks—but your schedule still feels like it’s running you?

👉 Feel guilty no matter where you spend your time—work, kids, home, or yourself?

👉 Wondering if balance is even real… or just another thing you’re “failing” at?

Friend, you’re not broken. Your blueprint is.

In this solo coaching-style episode, I’m busting the top 3 myths about work-life balance—and giving you a fresh, strengths-based way to create a schedule that works with you, not against you.

🔥 In This Episode:
✔️ Why “equal time” is a myth (and what balance really means)
✔️ The hidden danger of perfect routines—and how to build flexible rhythms instead
✔️ Why burnout isn’t solved with better planning—but with deeper alignment
✔️ How to match your schedule to your leadership style so it finally feels doable

"You’re not overwhelmed because you’re unorganized. You’re overwhelmed because you’re unaligned." -Shannon Fox | Career Coach

🛠️ Try This Action Step:
Choose ONE work-life myth you’ve been believing (like “balance means equal time”), and replace it with a personalized truth that reflects your season, your strengths, and your actual life.

Feeling burnt out—even when you're checking all the boxes?

Do you ever look at your perfectly planned calendar and still feel like you're failing? 😩 You're not lazy. You're not disorganized. You're carrying a mental load no planner can fix—and it's time we talked about it.

In this solo episode of Career Growth for Working Moms, we’re flipping the script on time management and going deeper into what actually helps career moms thrive.

🔥 In This Episode:
✔️ Why time management hacks fail high-achieving working moms
✔️ The 3 layers of time strategy (and why most people only use one)
✔️ A coaching-style reflection to uncover what’s really draining your energy
✔️ Strengths-based shifts by leadership style to reclaim your time and power

💬 Key Quote:
"It’s not about getting more done—it’s about choosing what matters. Energy. Identity. Boundaries. That’s real time strategy." — Shannon

🛠️ Try This Action Step:
Audit your last 3 “yeses.” For each one ask:
✨ Did it energize or drain me?
✨ Did I say yes from desire—or guilt?
✨ Would I say yes again?

Then choose one layer (task, energy, or identity) to focus on this week. Small shifts = big wins.

✔️ The REAL reason asking for help feels so hard (and how to shift that)
✔️ How to create income growth without working more hours
