Everyone's talking about empowering women. Not everyone means it.


Amy Kean is the CEO of Good Shout, a social psychologist in training, and the founder of the Unlikable Woman Summit - a movement for women who've been told they're too much, too loud, or too direct. She's also one of the most honest voices in the room when it comes to calling out the BS that hides behind women's empowerment branding.


In this episode, Sabrina and Amy get into the conversations most people in this space are too scared to have. The female founder cliques that operate exactly like old boys clubs.


The corporate hijacking of International Women's Day by a management consultancy with zero feminist credentials. Why feminism has become too polished and palatable to actually change anything. And what it really costs women who dare to speak up publicly.


This is not an episode about victims. It's an episode about what happens when you refuse to shut up - and why more women need to do exactly that.


In this episode:

  1. Why Amy left a 17-year advertising career and what it taught her about women's voices

  2. The concept of "likeability labour" and why it's silently killing women's careers

  3. What gravitas actually means — and why it's being used as a weapon against women

  4. The real story behind International Women's Day.com (and who's actually profiting from it)

  5. Female founder cliques — how they work, who they exclude, and why they're just old boys clubs with better branding

  6. The Unlikable Woman Summit — why Amy built it and what happened when she put a giant vagina at the entrance

  7. 68% of women have stopped speaking online — and why silence is the worst thing that can happen to any movement

  8. Why AI fear-mongering is the newest form of unethical marketing

  9. What social media literacy actually means and why it's now a survival skill
