In this episode of When Mommy Grows Up, we’re taking a page from the world of gymnastics, where feedback is constant, specific, and unavoidable, and asking: what if we approached our careers the same way?

Because here’s the truth: most of us aren’t lacking feedback… we’re just not getting the kind that actually helps us grow.

Through the story of “Jenna,” a high-performing professional who felt stuck despite glowing reviews, we unpack why common workplace feedback often falls flat, and how to change that. From vague praise to overly safe critiques, we’ll break down what’s missing and how to start asking better questions that lead to real, actionable insights.

You’ll walk away with simple, practical strategies to:

• Ask for feedback in a way that gets real answers
• Turn vague comments into clear direction
• Build visibility and trust by actually using what you hear
• Create momentum in your career (without waiting for your next review cycle)

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing everything right… so why am I not growing?” this episode is for you!
