In this episode of Everyday ABA, the hosts kick off Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day by exploring gendered work and emotional labor in the workplace. They break down how women are often expected to take on invisible labor that is essential to workplace functioning but rarely recognized, rewarded, or tied to promotions. Through real-world examples, the conversation examines how these expectations reinforce gender inequities and subtly shape professional trajectories across industries.

The hosts discuss boundary-setting, why women face social penalties for assertiveness while men are rewarded, and how these dynamics persist in both male- and female-dominated workplaces—even for women in leadership.

The episode also highlights practical solutions: redesigning workplace systems, clarifying roles, and shifting organizational culture to create equitable environments where women can thrive without taking on unpaid or invisible labor.

Perfect for listeners interested in workplace psychology, gender equity, women in leadership, burnout prevention, emotional labor, boundary-setting, and applying ABA beyond clinical settings, this episode offers actionable insights for building healthier, more equitable work cultures.
