You’re not lazy. You’re not missing a strategy. You’re actually really good at what you do. But your income has been stuck at the same number for longer than it should be, and you can’t figure out why. You’ve tried the new approach. Put in more effort. Maybe even made a big change. And you still keep ending up in the same place. That’s what this show is about. I’m Desi Batista. On Expansion, I talk to psychologists, entrepreneurs, coaches, and high performers about what’s really going on when capable women can’t seem to move past a certain point, and what it actually takes to break through it. If you’ve been stuck at the same income, the same role, or the same level in your business and you’re tired of hearing that you just need a better plan, this show will finally make sense of what’s actually in the way.
