Work from home is a career killer for women? I disagree a thousand percent. In this episode, I’m challenging the idea that ambition has to come at the expense of your mental health, your time, or your identity. I’m talking about my experience in corporate America as a Black woman, the invisible labor that comes with being in office, what the research actually says about remote work and productivity, and who the “three hour mom” narrative really applies to. Because not all advice is universal, and success should not require you to lose yourself in the process.
87% of employees report being equally or more productive working from home (Microsoft WorkLab)
Remote and hybrid workers report higher engagement than fully in-office employees (Gallup, 2023)
In this episode, we cover:
Why the “work from home is a career killer” narrative ignores what Black women actually experience
The real cost of code switching, and why the office is not a neutral space
Why being seen at work still doesn’t guarantee being considered
How communication bias shows up in emails and perception
The truth about the “three hour mom” – and what it actually requires
What the data really says about productivity at home
Why you need to be selective about whose advice you follow
