In this episode of The Boss Lady Podcast, Teresa and Jennifer dig into McKinsey and Company’s 2025 Women in the Workplace data to challenge one of the most persistent myths in leadership today: that women lack ambition. The truth is far more nuanced and far more actionable. Drawing on the largest study of women in corporate America, you will learn how opportunity gaps, lack of sponsorship, uneven career support, and systemic barriers, not motivation, shape women’s career decisions. This conversation reframes what leaders often get wrong, unpacks why ambition fades when support disappears, and highlights what organizations can do differently if they truly want women to advance.
