Episode 2:
What happens when being too good at your job becomes the very thing that holds you back? In this powerful episode, host Kimberly sits down with Amber Carter, corporate veteran, Emmy Award winner, and Founder of Loud Mouth Merch, for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the hidden traps of corporate America for women of color.
Amber spent 15 years being the ultimate utility player: high-performing, high-potential, and completely stuck. She opens up about being blocked from advancement, sabotaged by her own boss, and the emotional toll of surviving instead of thriving.
But this isn't a victim story. It's a story of reclaiming your worth.
In this episode:
- The difference between being valued and being utilized
- How being "low risk" kept Amber trapped in place
- The childhood messages that shaped her relationship with self-worth
- Why confidence and self-worth are not the same thing
- What finally made her walk away from corporate America
- Building Loud Mouth Merch and learning to bet on herself
