UNSHAKEABLE HER: Get Promoted by Building Leadership, Influence and Confidence (For Women Done Being Overlooked)
You're already leading. So why does it still feel like nobody's noticed?
Unshakeable Her is the leadership podcast for ambitious women who are done second-guessing themselves in systems that weren't designed for them. Every week we get into the promotion strategies that get you recognised for the leader you already are by exploring the real science of leadership confidence, the unwritten rules of influence, and how to build the kind of presence that makes promotion inevitable.
Hosted by Caroline Esterson - a leadership development specialist with 30 years inside hundreds of organisations, who knows exactly why brilliant women get overlooked and what to do about it.
This podcast offers practical, repeatable ways to build influence, confidence, and career momentum.
Each week you'll learn:
- How to build the visibility and strategic positioning that gets you promoted.
- How to lead with more influence without losing yourself in the process.
- The science behind imposter syndrome in leadership (and what actually shifts it) so you can get promoted.
With new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, ‘Unshakeable Her’ delivers stories, strategy, and insight to help you become someone nobody can shake.
New here? Episode #7 is your imposter syndrome reset. Episode #56 is where leadership finally clicks.

#38 | I Am Not Shrinking This Year and the Quiet Decision That Builds Real Leadership Influence.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A quieter, gentler story to close the series.
Ellie, home on Boxing Day, surrounded by cold stuffing, rogue Brussels sprouts, and the sudden realisation that she can’t keep shrinking at work.
No big drama.
No catastrophe.
Just an honest, still moment - the kind that changes a life quietly.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Why identity beats resolutions
- Why quiet decisions stick longer than loud declarations
- How “I’m not shrinking this year” becomes a 2mm shift
- The power of reflective moments that no one sees
Power Move: Stand Tall
Little Move: Make a decision about who you are becoming.
What You’ll Take Away:
Your biggest breakthroughs won’t look big from the outside. But you’ll feel them. And once you’ve made the internal shift, the external changes follow naturally.
New episodes are released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

Each episode tackles the challenges that shape leadership from the inside out, including imposter syndrome, resilience, credibility, boundaries, conflict, and feedback, while unpacking how pressure, workplace politics, strategic thinking, decision-making, and visibility affect the way ambitious women grow, lead, and get promoted without losing themselves in the process.
