The Invisibility Tax: How to Own the Room When the System Ignores You with Chloé Nwangwu | Ep 155

Why are ambitious women still struggling to be seen, heard, and recognised no matter how good they are?

In this week's episode of Pennyology, I’m joined by Chloé Nwangwu, known as The Brand Scientist, to expose the hidden cost of being overlooked: The Invisibility Tax.

Chloé shares how traditional visibility strategies fail women especially those outside the usual power structures and what it really takes to command attention, shift bias, and lead with influence when the system wasn’t built for you.

We dive into:

• What the Invisibility Tax is and how it drains opportunities from ambitious women
• Why being visible isn’t about being everywhere, but about owning the right spaces
• How Chloé’s Phases of Visibility Model helps you focus on what actually moves the needle
• The role of behavioural science in dismantling outdated visibility norms
• Practical steps to reclaim your voice, shift broken systems, and lead on your terms.

If you’re done playing small and tired of being underestimated, this conversation will give you the mindset shifts and strategies to make sure your work and your leadership gets seen.
