Career Growth for Working Women | Career Advancement, Visibility, Promotion, Raises
Do you ever feel like you're doing everything "right" at work, yet you're still being overlooked?
Maybe you're leading projects, solving problems, mentoring teammates, and delivering results, but your title and paycheck haven't caught up with the value you create.
Maybe you're wondering why someone else was promoted when you know you've been making a bigger impact.
Or maybe you're simply tired of waiting for someone to finally notice everything you bring to the table.
If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Welcome to Career Growth for Working Women, the podcast that helps high-performing women become impossible to overlook and the obvious choice for raises, promotions, and leadership opportunities.
I'm Shannon Fox, Promotion & Compensation Coach, and I believe one simple truth:
You're not being overlooked because you lack talent. You're being overlooked because your impact isn't positioned clearly.
Every week, I'll help you learn how to strategically communicate your value, increase your visibility, navigate workplace dynamics, and position yourself for career opportunities that align with your strengths, your values, and the life you want to build.
Because getting promoted isn't about working harder.
It's about making it easier for leadership to recognize the value you're already creating.
Whether you're preparing for a raise, pursuing a promotion, navigating office politics, building executive presence, or simply trying to figure out your next career move, you'll find practical strategies, honest conversations, and coaching that you can immediately apply.
We'll talk about career positioning, visibility, leadership, confidence, burnout, boundaries, compensation, AI, networking, and what it really takes to grow your career without sacrificing yourself in the process.
So grab your coffee, or reheat it for the third time, and let's build a career that supports the life you want, pays you what you're worth, and makes you impossible to overlook.

78 | The 4 Boundary Shifts That Protect Your Peace in December
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Be honest, does December feel like everything is pulling on you at once?
The pressure to make the holidays magical… keep your career running… show up for family… stay cheerful… and somehow not crumble under the weight of it all?
If so, you’re not alone.
And today’s episode is your permission slip and your strategy.
Because here’s the truth:
Peace is not passive. Peace is a leadership decision. And if you don’t protect it, everything else will take it.
In this solo episode, I’m breaking down 4 boundary shifts that actually work for working moms — not vague advice, not “just say no,” but real, doable boundaries rooted in emotional needs, bandwidth, and your leadership wiring.
And yes… your leadership style affects the boundaries you struggle with most. I’m breaking down each style and the exact shift that will give you instant relief.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✅ Why peace is a decision, not a December miracle
✅ The powerful rule: “I don’t do that in December” — and how to use it without guilt
✅ How the Slow Reply Strategy stops urgency from running your life
✅ Why every mom needs a daily Peace Hour (even if it’s 10 minutes)
✅ The transformative One Emotional Responsibility Per Day Rule
✅ How each leadership style gets trapped in December and the boundary they need most
✅ The ONE boundary shift to choose today to reclaim your sanity, your schedule, and your emotional bandwidth
Remember…
You are not responsible for creating a perfect holiday. You are responsible for protecting your well-being inside the holiday you’re living.
And when your boundaries match your wiring? Peace becomes possible... not someday, but today.
If this episode gave you clarity or relief, share it with another working mom who needs breathing room this season.
You never know whose peace you’ll protect. 💛
