In this International Women’s Day episode, Gina shares a deeply honest reflection on something that doesn’t get talked about enough.
While women have fought for generations to gain seats at the table, many of us have unknowingly inherited the belief that there are only a few spots available. And when that belief takes hold, comparison, judgment, and competition between women can quietly take root.
After seeing a powerful “Be One of Many” campaign from Mercedes, Gina began reflecting on what it really means for women to rise together—and how the way we show up for each other can either reinforce old limitations or create a completely different future.
Drawing from her experience as a business coach working with women every day, Gina shares what she sees behind the scenes: the fear of being seen, the visibility blocks that hold so many women back, and the powerful role women play in either supporting or shrinking one another’s growth.
This episode is an invitation to rethink the narrative.
To move from comparison to curiosity.
To celebrate women as they expand instead of pulling them back when they grow.
And to remember that the goal was never to be the one woman who made it…
The goal was always to be one of many.
In This Episode, Gina Talks About:
• The moment a Mercedes International Women’s Day commercial sparked a powerful realization
• Why women sometimes feel like there are limited seats at the table
• The conditioning that can create competition between women
• What Gina sees behind the scenes in her work as a business coach
• The visibility block that shows up for nearly every woman in business
• “Crab in the bucket” syndrome and why support often disappears when women start succeeding
• Why supporting women cannot be conditional• Practical ways women can actively lift each other up
• The importance of doing the inner work around comparison and insecurity
• Why courage and expansion are contagious
• The responsibility we have to the girls and young women coming behind us
A Reflection for Today:
Think of one woman in your life.
Encourage her.Celebrate her.Recommend her.Say her name in a room she’s not in.
Because when women realize there is room for all of us…
everything changes.
