🔥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.

As the year comes to a close, many of us find ourselves being unusually hard on ourselves. The “itty-bitty-shitty committee” in our minds grows louder, fueled by the pressure of the year-end. We take stock of the past twelve months and too often hold them against ourselves like a harsh jury.

For some, the holidays — the Christmas season — can feel particularly challenging, especially if the memories associated with this time aren’t the happiest. It’s a season that often drags us back into childhood, stirring up complicated emotions.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story of how I’ve learned to rewrite stories about a time I was once homeless, the profound impact of Byron Katie’s teachings, and what's possible when you turn these stories around.

If you’re feeling the weight of the year or the pull of old memories, this one’s for you. Let’s dive in.

I'm joined by Joyce Kao and Heidi Seibold, the co-founders of the Digital Research Academy.

Joyce and Heidi have an inspiring entrepreneurial journey.

As former researchers, they decided to take the leap and co-found the Digital Research Academy, a training network focused on open science and research best practices.

In our conversation, they share the challenges they faced in making the decision to build the academy independently and how coaching helped them gain clarity on a key decision for the academy, or their "brain child."

Now in their first year, they're seeing incredible demand for their work and are passionate about the importance of open science.

This is a story of betting on yourself, finding the right partner, and using your expertise to create something meaningful.

This is a replay of a recent online workshop I delivered called "How to Tap into Brain Magic When the World Feels like a Dumpster Fire."

Here's what you'll learn:

• Why accessing the unconscious matters when you want to take new action and advocate for yourself, especially when you're a woman, a person of color, or of any other marginalized identity
• How to overcome self-advocacy jitters and imposter syndrome, particularly for women, minorities, and neurodiverse individuals.
• A demo of the "shift out and shut up" technique, something you can do in the middle of 1:1 conversations to help you feel more grounded, attentive, and alive.
• A demo of a simple practice based on Princeton University's Dr. Les Fehmi's book Open Focus Brain, which induces alpha brain wave state
• How to lower anxiety by activating both sides of the brain.
• A demo of a guided visualization to mentally rehearse a desired outcome.
• Tangible techniques to improve neuroplasticity and confidence.

In this episode of Risky Conversations, we talk about betting on and investing in women leaders.

I'm joined by Patricia Lizarraga, CEO and portfolio manager of the W CEO ETF, who discusses her journey from growing up in a military dictatorship in Lima, Peru, to her career in finance.

She highlights the challenges and opportunities she faced, including starting a sorority at Yale and bringing financial products to Peru.

Patricia explains the investment thesis of the W CEO ETF, which focuses on women CEOs outperforming, because as women, they've had to consistently outperform and overcome many internal and external barriers.

W CEO ETF, which invests in 140 U.S. companies with female CEOs, has shown an average outperformance of 170 basis points per annum and has outperformed its comparables by 70-90 basis points since its inception in January 2023.

We talked about the importance of diversification and impact investing, aiming to increase female representation in leadership roles.
