| 09 Oct 2018 | Ann Shoket: The Ambition Trap | 00:38:49 | |
Meet Ann Shoket, the former editor-in-chief of Seventeen Magazine, author of The Big Life, and a champion for millennial women who are redefining the meaning of power and success. But championing women isn’t why I asked Ann Shoket to join us—although we’ll definitely cover that. I wanted Ann to come talk about what I call The Ambition Trap. Sometimes drive and direction don’t work in tandem, and that can feel really, really frustrating. All that mess is something Ann totally understands—she’s a bit of millennial woman guru—and I’m sure many of you can relate to the internal battle you have with your ambition as well. Which is why on this episode we’ll be discussing:

| 07 Mar 2023 | How Do I Create Value at Work? Tips For Making an Impact at Work | 00:40:57 | |
Why do some people break through and make an impact at work while others get stuck going through the motions? In every organization, there are Impact Players—those invaluable colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations and who consistently receive high-profile assignments and new opportunities. Whether they are on center stage or behind the scenes, managers know who these top players are, understand their worth, and want more of them on their team. While their impact is obvious, it’s not always clear what actually makes these professionals different from their peers. Today on the show we have Impact Players author and researcher, Liz Wiseman, here to explain what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why—with a little coaching—this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level.

| 06 Dec 2022 | Round-Up: The Best Mental Health Advice From 2022 | 00:19:30 | |
One of our favorite things about getting toward the end of the year is looking back and recapping some of the best moments…or in this case some of the best pieces of advice we got from the guests on this show. And since we’ve published almost 50 episodes this year with hours of interview content, we thought it would be helpful to round up audio clips from a variety of episodes focused on providing advice about mental health that changed our approach from things like burnout to boundaries.

| 19 Mar 2019 | How to Master Time Management with Laura Vanderkam | 00:45:11 | |
Meet Laura Vanderkam, an author, productivity expert, and a woman disrupting time management skills. I first came across Laura’s work when Career Contessa published an article called “How You’re Wasting 50+ Hours a Week” and, as you can probably imagine, I was immediately taken by the article because it’s true— we all do share the same number of hours in a week—168 to be exact—but it does seem like some people machines that power through their to-do lists while others are just “too busy” all the time. Why? I naturally when straight to the time management source with Laura, a seven-time author, TED speaker, a mother of four, and a woman who has analyzed the time diaries of 900+ people.

| 21 Mar 2023 | A New Approach To The Quarterlife Crisis | 00:36:08 | |
Have you ever thought “I’m stuck. What’s wrong with me? Is this all there is? Today’s guest, Satya Doyle Byock, hears these refrains regularly in her psychotherapy practice where she works with “Quarterlifers,” individuals between the ages of (roughly) sixteen to thirty-six. She understands their frustration. Some clients have done everything “right”: graduate, get a job, meet a partner. Yet, they are unfulfilled and unclear on what to do next. While society is quick to label the emotions and behavior of this age group as generational traits, Satya sees things differently. She believes these struggles are part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stage that every person goes through which has been virtually ignored by popular culture and psychology. We’ll discuss her new approach to a quarterlife crisis, why it matters, and engage with Satya’s four pillars of Quarterlife development.

Today’s teacher is Gaby Dunn, a beloved writer-comedian, podcast host of Bad with Money and author of a money book that goes by that same title, Bad With Money: The Imperfect Art of Getting Your Financial Sh*t Together.

If you can relate to this feeling at all then you’re 100% in the right place as we pick Gaby’s brain for how you can break the financial anxiety cycle once and for all.

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.

| 18 Sep 2018 | Autumn Reeser: When You Go High, You Also Go Low | 00:46:22 | |
Actress Autumn Reeser had her whole life planned out. Marriage, successful career, kids, and more. But then she was hit with a divorce, lack of emotional support, and even postpartum psychosis. Autumn’s vulnerability has led her to share that, until recently, her version of “having it all” definitely didn’t include room for messy moments. The result was that she was preoccupied with the idea of doing more, doing it perfectly, and of course, ignoring whatever wasn’t working—until the moment of meltdown came for her anyway. So, while this episode is less “career advice”, more life perspective, this episode covers how Autumn’s perfectly planned life transitioned into Plan B—or maybe even Plan D or E—and how her resilience has created a new version of herself.

Meet Beth Comstock, author and former Vice Chair and head of marketing and innovation at General Electric. Beth has made a name for herself as a change-maker and someone who can convince the inconvincible to also adapt change through her almost 30-year corporate careers.
Beth’s new book is called Imagine It Forward: Courage, Creativity, and The Power of Change and that’s exactly what we’ll be covering on this episode. We’ll hear about Beth’s struggle with confidence and trouble advocating for herself at work—she even shares an embarrassing interaction with introducing herself to a CEO. We’ll cover what permission slips are and why Beth gave them to herself often, and what to do if you’re facing pushback at work with your ideas.

| 17 Dec 2019 | Can Attractiveness Get You Fired? | 00:41:16 | |
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.

Did you know only 45% of workers feel adequately paid but 50% still aren’t comfortable discussing salary in the workplace?
