Episode 11 - The Luck Myth: How Women Actually Get Promoted
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. In this episode of No Filter, No Apologies, Katy and Rebecca dismantle the “she got lucky” narrative that follows women at work, especially when a woman gets promoted, lands a high-visibility project, or suddenly becomes “the favorite.”
Here’s the truth: luck is usually proximity + courage + preparation.
We break down how career “luck” is actually built, including:
- Why doing great work quietly often keeps women invisible
- How proximity works (and how to create it without selling your soul)
- Networking that leads to real opportunities, not just more meetings
- How to make your work visible to decision-makers and sponsors
- The difference between healthy modeling vs toxic comparison
- How perfectionism and fear can look like “bad luck” but are actually self-sabotage
- A simple rhythm to build momentum: monthly, quarterly, annually
If you have ever heard “she was just in the right place at the right time,” this episode is your reset.
