Reader, This Silent Struggle is Suffocating Women in Corporate Right now
Quiet Cracking.
It's not as loud and momentous as the Great Resignation was. But it's there behind the scenes.
Quiet Cracking is when you’re still showing up, still delivering, still keeping it all together on the outside—but inside, you’re holding on by a thread.
Mentally checking out during meetings because you’re too drained to engage.
Saying yes to projects you don’t have energy for because saying no feels unsafe.
You need more income but can’t see how to create it.
You want change but can’t risk making the wrong move.
Waking up tired even after a full night’s sleep.
And because you need your job (and there’s no backup plan yet), you keep pushing and convince yourself that this is just how it has to be.
But what if I told you that there's another way, that already have skills and expertise companies would gladly pay you for outside your 9-5.
It might be hard to see right now because you've been stuck in survival mode for so long that right now being happy, making more money, and enjoying your work might feel like walking through the dark without a flashlight.
I totally get it.
But Reader, muscling through won't stop you from Quiet Cracking. The only way to stop is to slowly take your power back.
That starts with a plan. A roadmap to help you quietly evaluate your skills, map out potential clients, and create an income stream that gives you options—so you can finally make career and life decisions from a place of confidence, not scarcity.
Quiet Cracking doesn’t have to be your forever story. With the right plan and tools, you can create an additional stream of income that opens up more opportunity and resources allowing you to reclaim your time, mental health, and life.
Strategy Snapshot:
If you’ve been Quiet Cracking, here’s a simple first step to stop the spiral:
1️⃣
Inventory Your Wins
Grab a notebook or open a blank doc. List out the last 5–10 problems you’ve solved at work that saved money, saved time, or made life easier for your team or leadership.
|
|
2️⃣
Highlight the Transferrable Skills
For each win, write down the skill you used to make it happen—strategic thinking, conflict resolution, systems improvement, etc.
|
|
3️⃣
Spot the Consulting Potential
Circle the skills that could solve the same problem for another company. (This is the foundation of a consulting offer.)
