Show notes

I've spent the last 10 years helping women boss up - by getting hired, speaking up, and leveling up. I've worked with incredible organizations, activated allies, hell, I wrote the book on bossin' up and have been a featured speaker on stages across the globe. But still...it's not enough.

In today's episode I'm sharing a big shift I'm navigating to make sure we're actually "lifting as we climb."

Ambition, Exhaustion, and Sleep Disorders in the Workplace Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

When Lindsay Scola first told a doctor that she was having problems with sleep, her doctor replied that, "busy people are tired." This became something of a badge of honor for Lindsay as she pursued an ambitious career in activism and entertainment over the next 15 years, until finally her challenges with sleep became debilitating. She was finally diagnosed with narcolepsy at the age of 35 and is now on a mission to make sleep health and sleep equity a reality for all.

Tune in to today's episode to learn how to tell if you might be dealing with disordered sleep, and how this kind of chronic illness is an often-overlooked element of equity and inclusion in the workplace.

The truth about women's communication in the workplace Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

If you ask 5 people for their advice on how women should speak up at work, you're likely to get 5 different answers.

That's because, it seems, everyone has something to say about how women communicate at work. We're either too much or too little, too loud or too quiet, too direct or too passive, depending on who you ask.

In today's episode, I share the more complex reality underlying all human communication, and why at the end of the day, the most important power women have is to choose how we speak up for ourselves.
