Do you feel stuck in a role you have outgrown, but unsure how to make your next move without risking your reputation or burning out?
Are you doing high-level work, carrying invisible responsibility, and still wondering why your impact is not reflected in your title or pay?
Do you know you are capable of more, but feel unclear on how to position yourself for a promotion or raise without working even harder?
Are you tired of waiting to be noticed and ready to be compensated for the value you already bring?
You are in the right place.
Career Growth for Working Women is the podcast for ambitious corporate women who want to advance their careers, increase their income, and gain recognition without overworking, people-pleasing, or shrinking to fit outdated expectations.
I am Shannon, a Promotion and Compensation Coach, and I help women fast-track their next promotion by teaching them how to show their value so clearly that leadership cannot overlook them.
Through my 5% Method, we focus on positioning you for meaningful raises, promotions, and career growth because when you consistently perform above and beyond, your pay should too.
Each week, you will get honest conversations, practical strategy, and mindset shifts around career advancement, visibility, burnout recovery, confidence, and compensation so you can grow your career sustainably and strategically.
Grab your coffee, or reheat it for the third time, and let’s talk about how to grow your career in a way that actually pays off.

78 | The 4 Boundary Shifts That Protect Your Peace in December
Be honest, does December feel like everything is pulling on you at once?
The pressure to make the holidays magical… keep your career running… show up for family… stay cheerful… and somehow not crumble under the weight of it all?
If so, you’re not alone.
And today’s episode is your permission slip and your strategy.
Because here’s the truth:
Peace is not passive. Peace is a leadership decision. And if you don’t protect it, everything else will take it.
In this solo episode, I’m breaking down 4 boundary shifts that actually work for working moms — not vague advice, not “just say no,” but real, doable boundaries rooted in emotional needs, bandwidth, and your leadership wiring.
And yes… your leadership style affects the boundaries you struggle with most. I’m breaking down each style and the exact shift that will give you instant relief.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✅ Why peace is a decision, not a December miracle
✅ The powerful rule: “I don’t do that in December” — and how to use it without guilt
✅ How the Slow Reply Strategy stops urgency from running your life
✅ Why every mom needs a daily Peace Hour (even if it’s 10 minutes)
✅ The transformative One Emotional Responsibility Per Day Rule
✅ How each leadership style gets trapped in December and the boundary they need most
✅ The ONE boundary shift to choose today to reclaim your sanity, your schedule, and your emotional bandwidth
Remember…
You are not responsible for creating a perfect holiday. You are responsible for protecting your well-being inside the holiday you’re living.
And when your boundaries match your wiring? Peace becomes possible... not someday, but today.
If this episode gave you clarity or relief, share it with another working mom who needs breathing room this season.
You never know whose peace you’ll protect. 💛
