Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer

Ep #254: The Election Episode I Never Wanted to Record

Ever feel like you’re constantly proving your worth while someone less qualified than you gets a free pass? Like, no matter how capable or driven you are, the system is working against you? After last week’s election in the U.S., this feeling is hitting even harder for many women leaders, and I want to use this moment to speak to you on what we can do to move forward with confidence and strength. In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m getting honest and vulnerable, sharing the raw reality of what accomplished women face every day: being told to “smile more,” having their achievements questioned or undermined, and facing relentless scrutiny behind closed doors. And I’ll dive into why it’s essential to acknowledge your anger and frustration—not to let it take over but to transform it into fuel for your leadership and mission. I’ll also share strategies for recognizing these challenges without internalizing them, ways to carve out your path forward, and how to embrace your power with integrity and renewed purpose.
