## Resource

Mandi responds to a listener who feels increasingly frustrated by a newly promoted coworker who still comes in late, leaves early, and seems to get more grace because she has kids. What starts as a question about fairness turns into a deeper conversation about working parents, workplace stigma, professional branding, and why resentment at work is often pointing to something bigger underneath. Mandi makes the case for compassion, but also pushes the listener to look at what this situation is revealing about visibility, recognition, and career growth.   Join the Summer Money Reboot!  Mandi’s six‑week Summer Money Reboot series , designed to help you name your financial season, rebuild financial safety, and then move toward growth and alignment.  Download the workbooks for weeks 1: https://mandimoney.myflodesk.com/summermoneyreboot week 2 https://mandimoney.myflodesk.com/vr4mxs90xk  And week 3 https://mandimoney.myflodesk.com/kfb44793u2   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
