Break All The Rules and Love Monday's Again with Tammy Alvarez

Shedding the Corporate Bitch

Feeling stuck in the grind of a “successful” career that doesn’t light you up anymore?

This episode of Shedding the Corporate Bitch is a no-fluff conversation every high-performing leader, HR executive, and ambitious professional needs to hear. Host Bernadette Boas sits down with Tammy Alvarez, former Wall Street executive turned CEO of Career Winners Circle, who left the corner office behind to build a life and business she actually loves—and now teaches others to do the same.

Tammy pulls back the curtain on the corporate myths that keep professionals stuck, including the biggest lie we tell ourselves about career control. You’ll walk away with bold, actionable strategies for taking back your power, building a personal brand that gets noticed, and even negotiating for your worth—without waiting for permission.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• Why loving Mondays isn’t a fantasy—and how to make it your reality
• The “CEO of You” mindset and how to use it to drive your career
• What really happens behind closed doors in the C-suite (and how to play the game)
• How to create a Stakeholder Heat Map to build influence across your company
• How to say “yes, and…” to your boss while setting boundaries
• Why it's time to stop waiting for recognition—and start leading your own narrative

Whether you're an executive leader, HR professional, or someone at a career crossroads, this episode will give you the clarity and tools to move from burnout to boldness.
