How can you break through a glass ceiling when your boss says it doesn’t exist?For our season finale, we sit down with Rachel, an HR professional from the Midwest. In her mid-twenties, Rachel joined a company known for its "boys' club" culture. Determined to make a difference, she outperformed her male colleagues,&nbsp; proving her value at every turn. Along the way, she made it her mission to help others break in and thrive, building a stronger, more inclusive workplace.But success didn’t shield her from systemic discrimination. Despite promises of senior leadership opportunities, Rachel faced repeated setbacks and overt sexism. The final blow came after she returned from maternity leave—when the glass ceiling came crashing down on her career.Credits:Thank You for Your Interest is brought to you by Yellow Tape Media.Rebekah Sebastian: Creator, Host, and Executive ProducerSamantha Gattsek: Co-host, Senior Producer, and Audio EngineerOur cover art was designed by <a href="https://www.nimbenreuven.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nim Ben-Reuven</a>Our theme music was composed by Your Silent Facade.
