Episode 152: Highly Educated, Undercompensated, and Done Pretending the Math Adds Up

Send me a text message and get your questions answered on the podcast! I'd love to hear from you! I stopped pretending the math made sense.Many of us as women, especially women of color who are highly educated and deeply skilled, are still undercompensated in the spaces we help run. We fought hard for the degrees. We deliver the results. And somehow the numbers still don't add up.After years of trying to make every word serve an algorithm and a funnel, I made a different choice. I started writing on Substack to rediscover my voice, publish more freely, and create a space for the kind of real talk that doesn't need a full 20-minute breakdown to be valuable.In this episode, I'm sharing the story behind that decision. Because there are more ways than ever to leverage your expertise, create options, and build the life you want and desperately need. And I don't want you to wait as long as I did to start exploring them.If this hits home, subscribe to the podcast and join me over at The New Age Consultant on Substack. https://thenewageconsultant.substack.com/

Episode 151: Stop Arguing With Gurus And Outshine Them

Send me a text message and get your questions answered on the podcast! I'd love to hear from you! The most frustrating part of watching “overnight experts” win in business is knowing you actually did the work: the training, the experience, the credentials, the outcomes. So why does the market still reward people whose expertise is questioned? The answer is uncomfortable but real. They make the buyer decision feel the simplest, safest, and most valuable in the moment. In this episode, we dig into the social media credential debates swirling around high-profile names, not to pile on, but to pull out the business lesson for us as consultants. If you are ready to make it easier for buyers to understand you, trust you, and confidently hire you, press play. Then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more women in consulting can find the support they deserve.Ready to Go Deeper? If you’ve been feeling like your expertise is stronger than the market response you’re getting, you’re probably right. I'm hosting a strategic advisory lab to help experienced women consultants become easier for buyers to understand, trust, value, and confidently hire without relying so heavily on referrals, endless networking, or constant content creation. Simply DM me “LAB” on Instagram or LinkedIn and I will send more information your way.Let’s Stay Connected!Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drangelinadavis/Don’t Forget!If this episode resonated with you:SubscribeLeave a reviewShare it with another brilliant woman who needs to hear this.

Episode 148: From Doing the Work to Owning the Value: What Nobody Tells You About the Consulting Work You’re Already Doing

Send me a text message and get your questions answered on the podcast! I'd love to hear from you! You’ve built a career that looks successful on paper. You’re trusted, respected, and consistently relied on to solve complex problems and navigate high-stakes situations. But at some point, a quieter realization starts to surface. Much of what you’re doing day to day feels like something that could exist beyond the role you’re in.In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked stage where your expertise has already evolved, but your identity and how you value your work have not fully caught up. For some, this shows up as a growing awareness that there may be more you could be doing with what you know. For others, it looks like already offering services or taking on projects, but without a clear framework, positioning, or recognition of the full value of that work.This conversation is not about pushing you to make a sudden leap or forcing you to make a decision before you are ready. It is about helping you recognize what may already be true and consider what it means to see your expertise through a different lens. If you have ever felt like you are doing more than your title reflects, or building something without fully naming it yet, this episode will meet you in that space and invite you to think more intentionally about what comes next.If you’re ready to stop giving your expertise away for free and start building a consulting business with a simple path forward, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s the office go-to, and leave a review so more women can find the support they deserve.Ready to Go Deeper?Take the FREE email course and find The High-Value Consulting Offer You Did Not Know You Already Had (Without Needing More Experience, More Credentials, or More Time)Ready to figure out what you could offer as a consulting service, or if your offer has what it takes to sell?

Episode 145: From Cookie Aisles To Consulting: How to Stand Out in a Crowded Market

Send me a text message and get your questions answered on the podcast! I'd love to hear from you! “The market is too crowded.”“There’s too much competition.”“Everyone’s already doing what I do.”If you’ve ever said that (or quietly believed it), this episode is for you.In this conversation, we’re unpacking one of the most common (and costly) lies I hear from brilliant consultants, strategists, and experts: that market saturation means it’s time to pivot… or give up.Having difficulty breaking through a crowded market doesn’t mean there’s a lack of opportunity. It signals that at least one major thing needs adjustment.In this episode, is where we will break it all down.What I know for sure is that most people who say “the market is too crowded” aren’t wrong, they’re just unclear.If you want more conversations like this, subscribe to the podcast.
