When my daughter was introduced to someone powerful in her field, the moment should’ve opened doors. Instead, it slammed one shut with a single, sexist comment: “You don’t want to be too smart. People don’t like that.”
EXCUSE ME?
This episode breaks down exactly what to do—and say—when you’re confronted with subtle (or not-so-subtle) sexism from gatekeepers still clinging to outdated rules. We talk about generational shifts, power dynamics, and how to prepare your voice so you’re never stunned into silence again.
I’ll walk you through what to do when someone tries to dim your light, shut a door that should be opening, or make you question your power. You’ll walk away with three clear, bold steps to respond in the moment, reclaim your voice, and mentor the next woman in line.
Key Takeaways:
✨ Learn exactly what to say when you're stunned by sexism in real-time
✨ Build your “flabbergast fixers”—comebacks that are sharp, smart, and accountable
✨ Become the kind of mentor who holds the door open and hands out matches to burn outdated rulebooks
This isn’t just about calling it out. It’s about changing the culture—for us, for our daughters, and for every smart woman you know.
✨ Rewrite. Reclaim. Reinvent. ✨
Because playing small was never the plan, babe.
