🎙️ Episode 33: The Invisible Job Market. How Women Can Tap Into Hidden Opportunities.

🎙️ Episode 33 — The Invisible Job Market: How Women Can Tap Into Hidden Opportunities✨ Episode Summary

In this 5-minute voice note, we’re pulling back the curtain on the invisible job market — the quiet space where most of the best opportunities actually live. Charlotte walks through a simple but powerful truth: it’s not always about applying harder, it’s about connecting deeper.

You’ll hear a story about “Maya,” a woman who stopped sending résumés and started building relationships — and how that small shift unlocked opportunities she never saw coming. This episode is your gentle reminder that your next big break might not be listed online… it might be waiting in your inbox, your network, or a casual “hey, how are you?” message.


💡 Key Takeaways

  • The “invisible job market” isn’t magic — it’s relational.

  • Most opportunities are shared quietly, through trust and connection.

  • Building relationships before you need them is part of your financial freedom plan.

  • A single genuine conversation can open more doors than 50 job applications.


    🪄 This Week’s Action Step

    👉 Reach out to one person in your network who’s doing work you admire.
    Message them. Reconnect. Ask about their journey — not about job openings.
    You’re not just networking — you’re building your future freedom fund.


    💬 Reflection Prompt

    “How could I nurture one authentic connection this week that feels aligned with my future self?”

🎙️ Episode 30: Career Capital > Job Title

How to future-proof through skill stacking and identity beyond employment

Titles look good on LinkedIn but they don’t guarantee power, freedom, or future-proof careers.

In this episode of fireyfemmes, we unpack why your real professional value doesn’t come from your job title…
It comes from your career capital: the skills, reputation, network, adaptability, and personal brand you build over time — beyond a company, a business card, or an employer’s approval.

This is your reminder that you are not your title.
You are the asset.
And when you invest in becoming a multi-dimensional woman through skill stacking and identity-building you become untouchable in any economy.


💡What you'll learn:

  • Why titles are fragile and career capital compounds

  • How to build a portable, resilient personal value stack

  • Skill stacking: the strategy that turns women into powerhouses

  • Identity beyond employment who are you without a corporate banner?

  • How to move from employee mind-set to asset mind-set


    ✨ Key takeaways

    • Job titles can be taken. Career capital travels with you.

    • Woman who sees herself as the asset negotiates, pivots, and leads differently.

    • Your power lies not in what a company gives you…
      but in what you build, layer by layer.


      🔧 Try this exercise

      This week, write down:

      1. The skills you already have

      2. The strengths people come to you for

      3. One high-value skill you will layer on next

      4. One thing you will build outside your job title — content, projects, community, ideas

      Future security isn’t a job title.
      It’s self-generated value.


      🎧 If this episode hit home…

      Share it with a woman who is building her next era not waiting for permission to step into it.

      And follow fireyfemmes for more conversations on wealth, reinvention, and self-authored success.

🎙️ Episode 29: Thinking of quitting your job? Or going part time? Listen to this first

🎙️ Episode: Build Your Safety Net First

Emotional & Financial Buffers That Make Bold Moves Possible

Before women leap into reinvention, entrepreneurship, or any bold career move, we need more than courage — we need safety nets.

This episode breaks down why true freedom is built before the leap — with financial buffers, emotional support structures, and self-trust practices that make bold moves not just possible, but powerful.

We don’t glamorise reckless leaps here. We build runways, not cliffs.


💡 In this episode, we cover:

  • Why “just take the leap” is romanticised — and often harmful

  • The real power of building financial safety first

  • The psychological and emotional scaffolding that fuels reinvention

  • What a walk-away fund actually looks like

  • Why emotional buffers matter as much as bank balances

  • The difference between a leap of faith and a leap of strategy

  • Small steps to start building your safety net today


    ✨ Key takeaways

    • Bold doesn't mean reckless — it means prepared.

    • Security isn’t a cage; it’s a launchpad.

    • Financial buffers = choices, dignity, and peace.

    • Emotional buffers = resilience, boundaries, and support.

    • When you have both, you move differently. You negotiate differently. You choose differently.


      🧾 Resources mentioned

      📊 Download the Safety Net Spreadsheet
      Track your non-negotiable expenses & calculate your walk-away fund
      👉 Linked above in episode notes / show resource link


      🔧 Try this exercise

      This week, do three things:

      1. Calculate your true monthly non-negotiables

      2. Decide your walk-away fund months (2, 3, 6, or 12)

      3. Identify one emotional boundary or support to build

      Freedom is engineered — one intentional move at a time.

🎙️ Episode 28: Quiet Power vs Loud Confidence. Not All Confidence Looks Like Self-Promotion

Some women command rooms with their voices.
Others command rooms with their presence.

Both are powerful.
Both are confident.
Both are valid.

In this episode of fireyfemmes, we explore why confidence doesn’t only belong to the loud, outspoken, attention-grabbing personalities — and how quiet confidence can be just as powerful, strategic, and world-shaping.

If you've ever been told to “speak up” or felt like you needed to perform confidence to be taken seriously — this conversation is for you.


💡 What We Cover

  • The myth that confidence = loudness

  • Why quiet power is often underestimated — especially for women

  • The difference between silence and insecurity

  • How quiet conviction influences careers, business, and leadership

  • Loud confidence vs quiet confidence — strengths of both

  • How women can embrace their natural style without shrinking


    🔥 Key Takeaways

    • Confidence isn’t volume — it's conviction

    • Quiet does not mean passive; it can mean strategic and intentional

    • You don’t have to perform certainty to own your worth

    • Loud confidence creates visibility — quiet confidence builds trust and authority

    • Your power is not diminished because it doesn’t roar


      ✨ Power Quote

      “Your confidence doesn’t need an audience to be real. Quiet power isn’t weakness — it’s mastery.”


      🎧 Listen If You…

      • Identify as introverted or calm-natured

      • Feel pressure to be louder, bolder, more outspoken

      • Want to lead without performance or over-explaining

      • Believe in depth over noise

      • Want to redefine confidence on your terms


        🧠 This Week's Power Practice

        Choose one moment to practice quiet confidence:

        • Pause before responding

        • Negotiate calmly and firmly

        • Say no without over-explaining

        • Let your work speak without announcing every win

        • Speak with intention — not to fill space

        Quiet doesn’t mean small.
        Quiet can mean certain.

🎙️ Episode 27: Why Confidence is Currency in Careers, Business & Investing

Confidence isn't just a feeling, it’s capital.
In this episode of fireyfemmes, we break down why confidence is one of the most undervalued assets for ambitious women, and how it translates into real power in your career, business, and investing life.


If you've ever felt overqualified but overlooked, brilliant but hesitant, capable but quiet — this episode reminds you why confidence is not optional… it's a strategy.

  • Why confidence moves opportunities faster than talent alone

  • How visible confidence gets rewarded in the workplace

  • The link between confidence and earning power

  • Confidence in business: pricing, pitching, and being seen

  • Why investing requires conviction, not perfection

  • Building confidence as a muscle, not a personality trait

  • Confidence is the ignition — it turns potential into action

  • The world doesn’t reward quiet competence; it rewards self-belief

  • You build confidence by doing, not waiting

  • Wealth grows where conviction leads — in careers, entrepreneurship, and investing

  • Confidence isn't arrogance — it’s self-trust + action


“Money follows belief. Doors open for women who walk into rooms like they belong there, because they do.”

  • A woman building a powerful career

  • An entrepreneur or future founder

  • Someone who wants to build wealth through investing

  • Rewriting your story and stepping into your power

  • Tired of waiting to feel ‘ready’


Do one thing your next-level self would do confidently:

  • Apply for the role

  • Ask for the raise

  • Pitch the client

  • Raise your rates

  • Buy the ETF

  • Launch the thing


Confidence compounds one rep at a time.

🎙️ Episode 26: Reinvention: The Power of Small Experiments

🎙️ Episode: Reinvention: The Power of Small Experiments

Reinvention isn't one big leap - it's a series of small, intentional experiments that help you discover who you're becoming.


In this episode, Sheena shares her personal reinvention journey across tech, wellness, startups, and content - and why every “pivot” was actually data collection, self-trust, and identity expansion.

If you're in a season of change (or craving one), this episode will remind you that:

✨ You don’t need a 10-year plan to start, just curiosity✨ Reinvention is not failure, it’s iteration✨ Movement creates clarity✨ Every experiment builds identity capital

This is your permission slip to evolve gently, boldly, and on your terms.


🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Real reinvention is gradual, not dramatic

  • Test small ideas before making big shifts

  • Every season gives you tools for the next

  • You are not “lost” . You are gathering data

  • Self-trust grows through experimentation, not certainty


    💡 Try This

    Choose one small experiment this week:

    • DM someone you admire

    • Publish one piece of content

    • Attend an event or workshop

    • Explore a new skill or industry

    • Build or test a tiny idea


    Tiny actions → big identity shifts.

🎙️ Episode 25: Social Capital as an Asset Class

We are taught to chase money.
We are taught to chase credentials and roles.
We are taught to collect achievements and climb ladders.

But there is a form of wealth ambitious women are finally reclaiming:

Social capital.
The network, relationships, and reputational equity that shape opportunity.

This is not performative LinkedIn energy.
This is not chasing visibility for applause.

This is strategic, genuine connection as a wealth-building asset.

Inside this episode, we unpack how social capital compounds faster than financial capital, and why the most successful women do not just collect experience. They collect people who elevate them, stretch their thinking, and open rooms that credentials alone cannot.


What you will learn

  • What social capital really means

  • Why follower count is not network power

  • The difference between performative networking and true connection

  • Why women must build circles that create opportunity, not wait for permission

  • Practical ways to cultivate real relationships that compound

  • How generosity, credibility, and proximity accelerate growth

  • The upgrade from "networking" to curating aligned, powerful rooms


    Key Insight

    Money compounds. Knowledge compounds.
    Relationships compound the fastest.

    Your network can accelerate every goal.
    Career. Wealth. Confidence. Impact. Meaning.

    And you do not need to be loud.
    You need to be intentional, supportive, and genuine.


    Power Question

    Ask yourself:

    Am I collecting contacts
    or cultivating relationships?

    Then ask:

    Who are the five women I want intentional proximity with in this next chapter?


    Quote from the episode

    Social capital is not attention.
    It is trust, generosity, and reputation that grows over time.


    Call to Action

🎙️ Episode 24: The 4 Confidence Levers No One Teaches Women

🎙️ Episode: The 4 Confidence Levers No One Teaches Women

Confidence isn’t a gift, it’s a system.

And the biggest lie women have been sold is that confidence is something you either have or you don’t. That some people are naturally bold and others just… aren’t.

Reality check?
Confidence is built, not bestowed.
It grows through habits, practice, and intention not luck.

In this episode, we break down the 4 Confidence Levers no one teaches women, and how to activate them so you can move with more certainty, presence, and power in your life, career, and money decisions.

🔥 What You’ll Learn

✨ Why confidence is evidence-based, not personality-based
✨ How your nervous system impacts your courage
✨ The role your environment plays in expanding or shrinking your ambition
✨ Why exposure (aka reps) is the true builder of confidence — not perfection

We cover the four levers in depth:

  1. Evidence. Track proof, not doubt

  2. Energy. Regulate your body, fuel your confidence

  3. Environment. Surround yourself with expanders, not limiters

  4. Exposure. Stop waiting to be confident before you act, confidence comes from the action

These are the levers women were never taught because we were conditioned to behave, please, and “earn” confidence through external validation.

Not anymore.


💭 Reflective Question

Which confidence lever needs your focus this month: Evidence, Energy, Environment, or Exposure?

Write it down. Anchor it. Execute around it.


💬 Quote From the Episode

“Confidence isn’t the starting point, it’s the outcome of taking action. You don’t wait to feel confident. You build it.”


If this episode lit a fire in you, share it with a woman in your world who is rising right now someone stepping into her power and rewriting what’s possible.

🎙️ Episode 23 : Creating Opportunities vs Waiting to Be Picked

In this episode of fireyfemmes, we’re diving into one of the most powerful mindset shifts ambitious women make in adulthood:

Opportunities aren't assigned, they're created.

If you grew up being the “good student,” the reliable one, the hardworking one who expected merit to speak for itself… this conversation is for you.

Because the truth is:

❌ No one is coming to tap you on the shoulder
❌ Hard work alone doesn’t guarantee recognition
❌ Waiting to be chosen keeps you invisible

In adulthood especially as ambitious, high-earning, high-potential women, agency beats waiting. Action beats permission. Self-authorship beats approval.

Inside this episode, we explore:

✨ Why “pick me” conditioning runs deep for women
✨ The identity shift from good girl to self-authoring woman
✨ How stepping up creates momentum and invites opportunities
✨ Personal lessons from launching fireyfemmes without waiting for validation
✨ The first question to ask if you’ve been playing small or waiting for “the right time”

You don’t need a pat on the head, a title change, or someone’s blessing to go after what you want.

You get to choose yourself first.


🔥 Today’s Power Question

Where am I waiting to be picked and what would I do if I chose myself instead?


💬 Quote from the Episode

“In adulthood, opportunities are not assigned, they’re created.
No one is coming to pick you. You pick yourself.”


If this episode resonated, share it with a woman you love who’s on the edge of her next chapter. Tag @fireyfemmes and tell me the first opportunity you’re creating for yourself this week 👑🔥

🎙️ Episode 22: You Don’t Need Permission. Rewriting Your Career Narrative

🎙️ Episode: You Don’t Need Permission — Rewriting Your Career Narrative

Many high‑earning, high‑achieving women feel trapped by the “good girl” script. In this episode, we explore how to break free from people‑pleasing and perfectionism, claim self‑authorship, and rewrite your career narrative without waiting for external validation.

The idea? You don’t need permission to evolve. You just need your own pen.


💡 What We Cover

  1. The “good girl” trap: Why cultural scripts pressure women to be attractive but modest, ambitious but self‑sacrificing health.clevelandclinic.org. How these contradictory expectations fuel perfectionism, people‑pleasing and self‑abnegation health.clevelandclinic.org.

  2. Inherited roles vs. chosen roles: Michelle Kay Anderson’s insights on how roles like the “good girl,” “grateful guest” or “strong one” quietly shape behaviour michellekayanderson.com. Why it matters that many of our stories were written about us, not by us michellekayanderson.com.

  3. Self‑authorship explained: A definition from developmental scholar Marcia Baxter Magolda — self‑authorship is “the ability to collect, interpret and analyze information and reflect on one’s own beliefs in order to form judgments” researchgate.net. How self‑authorship differs from mere confidence or agency researchgate.net.

  4. Permission vs. claiming your expertise: Lessons from Penny Locaso — fear is data, not a stop sign, and clarity comes from action womensagenda.com.au. Expertise isn’t handed out; it’s claimed when you stop apologising for what you already know womensagenda.com.au.

  5. Actionable tools: How to name and challenge your inherited scripts, write a new narrative grounded in your values, and take imperfect public actions that reinforce your self‑authored story.


    ✨ Key Takeaways

    • You are not alone in feeling the weight of “good girl” expectations. Cultural scripts demand contradictory traits — be attractive but not too sexy, be ambitious but never show off health.clevelandclinic.org. Recognising these scripts is the first step.

    • Your story can be reauthored. Many of the roles we play were imposed on us michellekayanderson.com. Self‑authorship gives you the power to replace them with ones you consciously choose researchgate.net.

    • Expertise is claimed, not granted. Waiting for permission keeps you small. Locaso’s mantra: act first and clarity will follow womensagenda.com.au.

    • Rewriting your narrative is a political act. Breaking the “good girl” script challenges cultural power structures michellekayanderson.com.


      📝 Reflection Prompt

      Where in your career are you still waiting for someone else’s validation? List three beliefs you inherited about being a “good girl” and write a counter‑script that reflects your own values.

      Share this episode with a friend or colleague who:

      • Is questioning her next career move

      • Struggles with perfectionism or people‑pleasing

Episode 21: Confidence Boost while Corporate Confidence is Down

🎙️ Episode: Corporate Confidence Is Down. Here’s How You Stay Up

Right now, the corporate world feels shaky with layoffs, restructures, hiring freezes, strategy pivots. I mean Amazon announced ANOTHER round of layoffs yesterday!
And when the external environment wobbles, even the most capable women can quietly ask:

“Is it me? Did I lose my edge?”

Spoiler: you didn’t.
Your confidence didn’t disappear, it’s being invited to evolve.

In this episode, we explore how to hold and grow your internal power even when the market feels uncertain. Because true confidence isn’t built from job titles, performance reviews, or external validation, it's built from self-trust, evidence, and intention.

This one’s for the ambitious woman navigating a pivot, a transition, a slowdown, or simply a season of questioning. You're not falling behind, you're redefining your trajectory.


💡 What We Cover

  • Why confidence dips during uncertain markets (and why it's normal)

  • The difference between externally-assigned confidence vs self-generated confidence

  • Why women feel this wobble more than men and how to overcome it

  • The mindset shift from “waiting to be picked” to “I pick myself”

  • 3 practices to rebuild internal confidence this week

  • A mantra to hold onto when doubt creeps in


    ✨ Takeaway

    Corporate confidence rises and falls. Your confidence doesn’t have to.
    Your track record, resilience, and resourcefulness didn’t evaporate, they’re your evidence. And right now, you’re being called to lead yourself with clarity and conviction.

    This season is not a setback.
    It’s a recalibration.
    A strengthening.
    A remembering.

    📝 Journal Prompt

    Where in my life do I still outsource my confidence and how can I reclaim it?


    🔁 Share This Episode

    If this episode resonated, send it to:

    • the friend who’s questioning herself lately

    • the woman in a season of pivot or transition

    • the one who’s job-hunting and needs a reminder of her power

Episode 20: Remake of Episode 9: A Normal Day in My Ideal Life

Hi Firey Gang. This is a remake of Episode 10. This version is crisper with my new mic purchased from Amazon!

Amazon Link https://amzn.to/4nlfDQe


Many of us think life is made up of highlight reels, the awards, fancy gala nights and big days. In reality, life is made up of boring and everyday ordinary moments. It's worth visualising what your ideal life's ordinary day looks like.


I first bumped into this meditation when I worked with Hannah Kissel.

🎧 Episode 19 A Boring Day in My Ideal Life: A Guided Meditation for Ambitious Women

💭 Episode Summary

What does your ideal ordinary day look like?
Not the one filled with wins, launches, or milestones — but the calm, grounded rhythm of a Tuesday that feels peaceful, balanced, and free.

In this 5-minute guided meditation, FireyFemmes host Sheena invites you to step into a “boring” day in your dream life — one that feels deeply aligned, not rushed. You’ll reconnect with what truly matters: time, energy, freedom, and the quiet joy of doing what you love without needing to prove anything.

Because your dream life doesn’t need to be extraordinary to be meaningful.


✨ Why This Episode Matters

This concept — “A boring day in my ideal life” — started as one of our most in-demand prompts.
Listeners kept asking for a meditation to visualise their peaceful success — not just the highlight reel.

This episode helps you:

  • Reconnect with the feeling of alignment and peace

  • Visualise what a sustainable, fulfilling life really looks like

  • Anchor into gratitude and presence, not hustle


    🪞Takeaway

    Success doesn’t have to be loud.
    The ordinary moments — your coffee ritual, your quiet morning, your flow state at work — are the real markers of freedom.

Description:
In this episode of FireyFemmes, we talk about the kind of wealth that rarely trends on Instagram — financial safety. Not the flashy investments or luxury milestones, but the quiet, essential buffer that gives women true autonomy.

Sheena unpacks why financial safety isn’t about fear — it’s about freedom of choice. From the confronting reality that women over 50 are the fastest-growing homeless group, to the emotional and practical layers of building your own safety net, this episode is your reminder that security is self-care.

What You’ll Learn:
💡 Why “financial safety” is different from “financial goals”
💡 The hidden risks women face when relying on others or one income source
💡 What a personal safety net actually looks like
💡 How to start small and still build confidence and control

Key Takeaway:
Every woman deserves an exit plan — not because she expects the worst, but because she deserves options.

Your FireyFemmes Challenge:
Audit your financial safety net this week. Ask yourself:
👉 If I had to walk away from my job, a relationship, or a city tomorrow, could I stand on my own for six months?
If not — start small. $100 at a time still counts.

🎙️ Episode 14: Property and Why It’s Great

Last week, I gave you my hot take on why property can be a bad investment.
This week, I’m showing you the other side why property, when done right, still builds some of the strongest long-term wealth out there.


In this episode of fireyfemmes, we unpack the real reasons property remains one of Australia’s most trusted wealth-building tools.

From leverage to discipline, from cash flow to control — this conversation takes the emotion out of the headlines and puts the focus back on strategy.

If you’ve been torn between “property is dead” and “property is everything,” this episode brings balance, perspective, and calm to the noise.

You’ll learn:

  • Why property works when you think long-term

  • How leverage quietly multiplies your returns

  • The role of rental income and tax benefits

  • Why property forces saving and structure

  • How to hold steady through market ups and downs


Key takeaway:It’s not about timing the market it’s about time in the market.Property isn’t perfect, but when you buy well, hold long, and stay patient, it becomes a vehicle for freedom not just an investment.
