How to Build Better Bosses Jan 11, 2022

One thing we hear a lot about is how hard it is to be a boss—and how much people don’t like their bosses. And while there are a ton of leadership books and experts on this topic, we find the best teachers are the people who have been in the boss's shoes before and navigate through it.

Quitting Your Job with No Plan B Dec 14, 2021

On today’s episode we are re-sharing one of our favorite interviews with Tess Vigeland, author of Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want. Listen in for an honest conversation with Tess about leaving high status jobs without something impressive lined up. Seeing as many people are thinking about what’s next for them in their career, this conversation seemed timely to re-share. I also think it’s very timely to re-share this conversation as so many people are thinking about what’s next for them in their career. Maybe that means no job. Maybe that means pursuing the good enough job. Or maybe that means staying where you are but working on your attachment between your job title and self-worth.

How Do I Deal With Toxic Coworkers? Nov 09, 2021

Dealing with office manipulators is tricky. That’s why we invited Liz Kislik to the show. With almost 30 years of consulting, Liz has encountered countless examples of manipulation, bullying, and inappropriate use of power. Throughout her work, Liz has discovered proven-ways to respond that are consistently effective for confronting most manipulators, even if you have less rank, power, or status. At a minimum, they’ll help you assert yourself and regain a sense of control rather than suffering in silence while you figure out your long-term plan.

The Most Important Career Advice You Haven't Heard Already May 04, 2021

It’s pretty obvious that our careers have a huge impact on our finances, but your finances also have a huge affect on your career. Being financially stable gives you more options in your career and allows you to have a solid foundation to make choices from. That stability can make a huge difference if you need to leave a job you hate, take a career risk, or if you want to start your own business. Plus, studies have shown that employees who are stressed about their finances are less productive at work. The more you stay on top of your finances, the less stressed you’ll feel. That’s a win for your finances, career, and health!

Can Attractiveness Get You Fired? Dec 17, 2019

Meet Dr. Leah Sheppard a researcher at Washington State University who’s recent work found that attractive businesswomen are thought by supervisors, colleagues, and employees alike to be less trustworthy and more expendable. This phenomenon has been deemed the “Femme Fatale Effect” — a term usually reserved for a seductive, yet manipulative, woman (Think Angelina Jolie in Mr. & Mrs. Smith.) Put another way, women cannot catch a break. In this episode, we’ll discuss why this gender stereotype and bias exist and what you can do about it. And, to add insult to injury, Dr. Leah will explain why the workplace treats conflict among women differently and how you can address that imbalance as well.

Meet Dr. Robin Berzin a functional medicine doctor and the founder of Parsley Health.
Dr. Robin founded the company in 2015 because she saw a flaw in the American medical system, which primarily focuses on prescriptions and procedures, not preventative care.

And as Dr. Robin shares in this episode, your health is all about how you feel—not how you look so you really need to listen to your body. We’ll also cover how Dr. Robin fundraised while 9 months pregnant, hormones, sleep, the physical Parsley clinics like the new one that just opened in LA, and so much more.

Georgina Gooley: Disrupting the Pink Tax Apr 23, 2019

Meet Georgina Gooley, the co-founder of Billie and a woman disrupting the pink tax. Shaving companies have always been centered around male narratives—focused on rugged jawlines and age-old troped of masculinity.
For many women, we grew up yearning to shave our legs for the first time—taunted by the glossy legs and the message that smooth legs made us “goddess-like.” On top of this—umm interesting—message, we were expected to pay more for our pink, coral, and peach-colored razors. Obsessed with advertising and branding from a young age, Georgina recognized that, while there had been a disruption in the already-crowded men’s shaving space, women were still being under-served and over-charged for our own shaving products.

This is how Billie was born. Billie is a female-first shave and body brand aimed towards fighting The Pink Tax and putting women first in an industry where we have remained an afterthought.

On this episode, you'll learn:

Where Billie came from
What sets Billie apart from other brands
And how Billie focuses on women’s specific shaving needs—without adding the dreaded “pink tax.”

Debbie Sterling: Disrupting the Pink Aisle Mar 12, 2019

Meet Debbie Sterling, the Founder and CEO of GoldieBlox and a woman disrupting the pink aisle.
For many women, our childhood toys consisted of Barbies, kitchen sets, and other variations of princess obsessions. And while we may have fond childhood memories with those toys, our male counterparts were being introduced to Legos, video games requiring strategy, and, following the male daredevils they saw projected on the screen.
What we didn’t know was that those gender stereotypes and messages would stick with many of us long-term and even impact our career choices. And that’s exactly why Debbie Sterling, a Stanford-educated engineer, created GoldieBlox, a media and toy company that helps tackle the gender gap in STEM for young women.
From years spent researching gender difference and talking with neuroscientists to a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $1 million dollars in pre-orders, GoldieBox is empowering girls every day and Debbie’s story is one you just have to hear directly.

On this episode, you'll start to rethink pink and learn:

How Debbie turn rejection into a major success, including winning a coveted Super Bowl ad

The impact of STEM careers for women

It’s true that Claire and Erica host a hilarious weekly podcast called A Few Things. And it’s also very true that Claire and Erica are a prime example of a female power couple, I mean work wives, who are disrupting how the power of female friendships can drive successful businesses.
For too long the stereotype has been that women are catty, emotional, and are too busy competing with each other to build successful businesses. That’s complete BS. You know it and I know it. In fact, you’re probably thinking about your own work wife right now and nodding your head because you know your work is better and you’re more fulfilled at work because of her support, not in spite of her.
On this episode, you'll learn:

How Claire and Erica built a successful company that they sold to Bed Bath and Beyond in 2015
The new foundation of the workplace that’s being redesigned by female power couples
How you can find and support your own work wife

How Leaders Communicate at Work Feb 12, 2019

Meet Caroline Turner, author, speaker, and a leadership consultant disrupting how both male and female leaders communicate.
You’ve probably heard that men are from Mars and women are from Venus as a way to explain our communication differences but Caroline strongly disagrees with that. In fact, we’re about to disrupt all the traditional advice you’ve heard about masculine and feminine communication approaches—including the fact that feminine does not equal “women,” and masculine does not equal “men.” No woman is exclusively feminine, no man exclusively masculine.

And if that’s true, what does it mean for communication approaches and, more importantly, for us as women? How does it impact us at work, in our lives, and how do we become “bi-lingual” in the two approaches?
On this episode, you'll learn:

The ins-and-outs of feminine and masculine communication approaches
Caroline’s advice for women in leadership roles today and tomorrow
What you can do when the research isn’t enough to get your male colleague’s buy-in

Welcome back to The Femails, a podcast that covers all things women, work, and what it takes to build a successful and fulfilling career on your terms.

Last season we brought you stories of meltdowns followed by swift comebacks from 12 dynamic women.

We’re back in the studio for season 2 of The Femails where will be focusing on disruption.

This year I’m seeing that movement continue but in a more fearless way. This is why I’m deeming this the Year of Disruption.

Disruptive times mean disrupting narratives, disrupting old ways of thinking, and disrupting entire industries. It might even mean disrupting our long-held definitions of our own success.

This season, I’ll be asking lots of questions and finding answers for how we can incorporate disruption into our daily lives. Subscribe today and you'll be the first to listen to season 2 when it premieres on February 5th, 2019! Theme music: Ethan Edenburg

Amanda Enayati: Managing Anxiety, Managing Yourself Nov 20, 2018

Meet Amanda Enayati, a stress expert, author, and cancer survivor. If you’ve ever looked at the headlines around stress and anxiety, the message is very clear: Chronic stress is on the rise. But what about the research that tells us how we can manage our stress or even turn our anxiety into positive action? And is there a difference between professional stress and personal? With so many questions about the topic, I was eager to find a stress expert who could actually provide some answers.

Amanda’s path to becoming a stress expert is a combination of both personal and professional experiences, starting around age 10 when Amanda became a child refugee because of a revolution in Iran. And later, when Amanda was also hit with a life-threatening cancer diagnosis.
That’s when Amanda started to write and record a new narrative for herself. A narrative that eventually turned her into the nation’s premier stress columnist and expert, a published author, and even launched an entirely new career. On this episode, we’ll cover:

How to stress better and lean into more of the good stress

What we can learn from elite athletes and how they react to stress

And how to develop a better sense of control that you can use in your career and life

Jill Abramson: Recovery Mode Nov 13, 2018

Meet Jill Abramson, author and Harvard college professor. She also happens to be the first and only woman to hold the position of Executive Editor at The New York Times, a role she’d lose in a very public way

Jill Abramson’s ascent at The New York Times makes perfect sense considering Jill is a native New Yorker through and through and she spent years in journalism including in the managing editor role at the Times before taking the top spot in 2011. But Jill's leadership role didn't last long and when she was fired in 2013, the whole world talked about it, wrote about, and speculated on why it happened. From her leadership style to personality, the media covered it all. Jill's story is about resilience, female allyship, and why every woman should ask the tough questions around salary—just because you're holding the top position in the company, doesn't mean you're free from experiencing gender inequality at work.
