If LinkedIn has been feeling heavy lately, you're not imagining it — and you're not doing it wrong. In this episode of Good Girls Get Rich, I'm naming something I see all the time with smart, accomplished women: the pressure to post more, the effort without traction, and the sense that visibility has started to feel exhausting instead of expansive.

If LinkedIn has been feeling heavy lately, you're not imagining it — and you're not doing it wrong.

In this episode of Good Girls Get Rich, I'm naming something I see all the time with smart, accomplished women: the pressure to post more, the effort without traction, and the sense that visibility has started to feel exhausting instead of expansive.

Here's the truth I want you to hear right away:

LinkedIn doesn't feel heavy because you're bad at it.

It feels heavy because you've evolved — and no one ever taught you how to evolve your visibility along with you.

In this conversation, I share three simple but powerful shifts (quickly, in about three minutes), and then we slow down and go deeper into each one so you can really feel how this applies to you.

We talk about:

Why treating LinkedIn like a content machine creates pressure
How conversation builds trust faster than constant posting
Why smart women exhaust themselves trying to prove credibility they already have
The difference between chasing the algorithm and aligning with your authority
How calm, clear visibility creates momentum without hustle

This isn't an episode about hacks, trends, or posting schedules.

It's about relief.

It's about clarity.

It's about creating visibility that actually fits the woman you are now.

If LinkedIn has felt heavy, consider this your permission slip to do things differently.

And if you want a space where that kind of visibility is practiced — not pressured — I share more about the Visibility Salon, the room I created for women who are done forcing themselves into strategies that don't fit.

Listen in and let this one land.
