.You may be stuck because you became too convenient.
You became the one they could count on.
The one who fixes the gaps.
The one who stays late.
The one who helps everyone else succeed.
The one who quietly keeps the system moving.
And because you are so capable, people may have stopped seeing you as leadership.
They see you as support.
As reliable.
As available.
As the woman who will always make it work.
But there is a difference between being valuable and being positioned.
Sometimes the pattern is not underperforming.
Sometimes the pattern is over-proving.
You do not need to become less capable.
You need to stop being useful enough to ignore.
Start speaking in outcomes.
Start naming your impact.
Start asking for the role, the raise, the recognition, and the room.
You are not broken.
You are patterned.
And patterns can be interrupted.
