Speak up Woman!

Why are women in sustainability less visible on LinkedIn, despite leading incredible work in the industry? 

In this episode, I take a look at a LinkedIn post that sparked over 150 comments and 17,000 impressions. 

From imposter syndrome to time pressures and the mental load, I explore why women’s voices aren’t being heard as loudly and what we can do about it.

I also share practical tips on building visibility with authenticity, embracing personal branding without the burnout, and how both women and men can create a more inclusive conversation. 

If you’ve ever hesitated to speak up or wondered how to grow your audience without compromising your values, this episode is for you.
