I work with a sex coach, not because I have sex problems, but because the coach and I are on a similar wavelength. My coach, Michaelann Gardner, is a deeply compassionate and fascinating person who has studied hypnosis under Melissa Tiers, just like I have.

(To give you an idea of what our coaching sessions are like: Michaelann guides me through hypnotic trances where we meditate on death, on the impermanence of life. I emerge from these meditations with a profound appreciation for my earthly existence.)

Michaelann has written a powerful book called Sovereign, a poignant memoir that delves into the taboo topics of bodies, relationships, sex, and spirituality.

In this candid conversation, Michaelann and I discuss what it means to question culture and religion in the journey towards self-sovereignty.

We explore the complexities of reclaiming personal authority and the courage it takes to forge one's own path. This is a thought-provoking dialogue you won't want to miss.

I'm a coach who helps smart folks who don't like office politics get promoted and better paid. Part of that work is helping professionals negotiate their salary.

98% of my clients are women, and I often hear this objection when I coach on salary negotiation: "I feel guilty for asking for the money I want."

In this episode, I share insights on how to shift your mindset, presence, and strategy to approach salary discussions with poise and confidence.

You'll learn:

• Why focusing on using the "right words" is a losing proposition
• Why self-advocacy (when done right) is an act of service
• A framework for negotiating from a grounded, spirited place that makes the words flow right out of you

Since 2011, I've hosted negotiation trainings that can be best described as scrappy, pragmatic, and useful.

It started with humble Meetups where I got a bunch of the smartest women I know into a room and had them practice asking for what they wanted -- out loud.

When the pandemic hit, I consciously decided to focus primarily on my 1:1 executive coaching, and everything moved to Zoom.

(You can read about my coaching philosophy, process, and pricing right over here on the website)

Since then, I've continued to host free negotiation webinars that have reached thousands.

Why? Because a rising tide lifts all boats.

Career advancement is already gate-kept enough for women and minorities. Simple, time-tested strategies for self-advocacy shouldn't be.

Way back when I was getting started, I made a promise to myself that the measure of my success would be the extent to which my free subscribers get real VALUE out of what I share freely.

That’s why, in this episode, I’m sharing a replay of my most recent webinar: 7 Winning Steps for Salary Negotiation.

You'll learn:

• How to overcome common challenges including confidence and mindset, so you avoid common pitfalls of playing too small and leaving money on the table.
• A simple 3-step framework for making the ask, whether you're negotiating an offer or a pay raise.
• How to write smart ChatGPT prompts that make you sound human, relatable, and compelling when you ask for what you want.
• Real-life client case studies, and specific how-to's you can implement right away.
