Female CEO: Stop Promoting Women Because They're Female! Here's Why: Hayley Westoby
Meet Hayley Westoby, the 34-year-old entrepreneur who walked away from toxic corporate culture-not once, but twice-to build two thriving businesses on her own terms. In this episode, Hayley challenges everything you've been told about female ambition, work-life balance, and what actually builds wealth.
She exposes the brutal reality of being denied promotions because of "gender quotas," shares why hustle culture is dead, and reveals how she completely restructured her business model after realising she'd built a cage instead of freedom.
