    When Your Boss Doesn’t Back You

    You know that gut-punch moment when the person who’s meant to have your back goes completely silent? Yeah. Me too. In this episode, I’m sharing the story of the job that looked incredible on paper and felt like slow-motion heartbreak in real life. It’s about realising your boss isn’t on your side, crying on your commute, and finding the courage to back yourself when no one else will. We’re unpacking: The red flags no LinkedIn job description will warn you aboutWhat happens when you’re the only woman in a room full of tech egosWhy self-trust matters more than external validation If you’ve ever sat in a meeting where someone questioned your worth, or stayed silent when they should’ve spoken up, I want you to know this: You’re not imagining it. You’re not overreacting. And you’re not alone. Take what you need from this episode and if it hits home, share it with someone who might need the reminder. 🔗 Links + Mentions: • Let’s connect and continue the conversation on LinkedIn • DM me on Instagram if this episode sparked something for you: @iamsallyfletcher
