Are you working hard, staying loyal, and still getting overlooked for a promotion? You're not alone—and you're not crazy.
In this raw and revealing episode of the Divine Time Podcast, host Danli Divine is joined by the wise and witty Eudith for a deep conversation about why so many deserving people are stuck in the same position, year after year. Together, they unpack the hard truths about corporate culture, favoritism, racism, and what it really means to know your worth.
From military experiences to workplace manipulation, from being the only melanated voice in the room to being passed over by someone with less experience but more connections, this episode is about calling it out—and taking your power back.

Why hard work alone doesn’t get you promoted
The truth about “selling yourself” at work

Entrepreneurship vs the 9-to-5 grind

How to maintain peace, passion, and purpose in your career
