🔥This might get me fired, I say to my clients to preface this truth bomb —

The game is rigged against employees.

Learning to negotiate for yourself is an essential part of playing to win the game.

The system is rigged to benefit the select few at the top and shareholders, not the hard-working manager or multi-talented individual contributor. And if you’re a hard-working woman or a minority, the odds are even worse.

But all is not lost. You need to learn how to:

✅ Advocate for yourself
✅ Negotiate your pay
✅ Play the game strategically

🆓 On 2/14, I’m teaching a very tactical, action-oriented salary negotiation webinar, and you're invited to register for free HERE.

I’m sharing several real client case studies and winning strategies — all from the lived experiences of real women and people of color.

🎧 Mentioned in this episode: interview with former client Grace Anniskett is HERE.

This is a replay of my interview on The Burnout Club podcast, hosted by Patrice Bonfiglio—a hedge fund industry veteran and all-around powerhouse.

Key Takeaways:

• Burnout isn’t caused by working hard—it’s driven by chasing a specific feeling or using emotion as fuel to push yourself to extremes.
• A key sign of burnout is physical illness—it often shows up through physical symptoms.
• Overcoming burnout requires a two-pronged approach: logical reasoning combined with subconscious work using hypnotic techniques for focused relaxation and deeper insights.
• Real-life examples from my high-achieving clients show how chasing feelings of accomplishment or confidence can unintentionally lead to burnout.
• Reflections from Patrice and me on our experience attending the Project 1490 retreat, where we first met in person.
