The Confession: The Good Girl Tax I Paid Myself

Diane did everything right. She worked harder than anyone, she gave more than anyone, and she still got passed over - for the raise, the promotion, and the money she'd earned ten times over. If that sentence made your stomach drop a little, this episode is for you. In this episode of Good Girls Get Rich, Karen Yankovich introduces "the good girl tax" - the invisible cost paid by women who are the most generous, most responsible, and most beloved in every room they walk into, and the least paid for it. Through the story of Diane (a composite of 100 women Karen has worked with), Karen walks through exactly how this tax gets charged - first in the classroom, then again when Diane rebuilds her career from scratch on LinkedIn. This episode isn't about fixing it yet. It's about finally seeing it. Key takeaways: The good girl tax isn't charged on your mistakes. It's charged on your best qualities - your generosity, your reliability, your willingness to over-deliver. "It's a calling" is often code for "we don't want to pay you." Teachers earn about 73 cents on the dollar compared to peers with the same degree in other fields - and that gap is the widest it's ever been. The broken rung is the real starting point. For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 93 women make it - and every future raise is calculated off that lower starting number. Sponsorship changes everything. Only 31% of women at that level have a sponsor versus 45% of men - and sponsored people are nearly twice as likely to get promoted. Letting your work "speak for itself" doesn't work. Diane tried it for 18 years in the classroom and again on LinkedIn - same result both times. If this episode hit close to home, don't keep it to yourself - share it with a friend who needs to hear it too.

How to Stay Visible on LinkedIn While Caregiving (Without Burning Out)

Are you holding an entire ecosystem together — aging parent, partner, grandkids, life — while also trying to run a business and stay visible? You are not alone. In this episode, Karen Yankovich gets real about something most business coaches won't touch: the professional cost of caregiving. She calls it "invisibility creep" — the slow, quiet fade that happens when we step back to care for the people we love. And she's here to tell you: it doesn't have to be that way. Key Takeaways: Caregiving is leadership — not a weakness or a career detour. LinkedIn's algorithm rewards consistency over frequency, making it ideal for caregivers who can't post every day.

High-ticket opportunities create the financial freedom to hire support — and stay visible. If this episode spoke to you, share it with a woman in your network who needs to hear it.

Mindset Over Strategy: Bold Moves with Dr. Kapu Patel

What if the only thing standing between you and your biggest business goal is a belief you formed when you were eight years old? In this episode of Good Girls Get Rich: The Conversations, Karen Yankovich sits down with Dr. Kapu Patel - certified mindset coach, former Big Pharma scientist, photographer, and one of the most gifted connectors Karen knows. They dig into why strategy alone will never be enough, what it really takes to network like you mean it, and how the stories we inherited are quietly running our businesses. Key Takeaways: Networking is not about the card - it's about being fully present with the person right in front of you. Your childhood beliefs are running your adult business. Mindset work isn't optional - it's foundational. The real reason you're not taking action is almost never what you think it is. Identity work and strategy must be aligned for your ambitions to become reality. A photograph - and your business - should always be about how it feels, not how it looks. Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and share this with a woman entrepreneur in your life who's ready for her next bold move.
