    Kicking Patriarchy Out of Our Brains in the Workplace: A Conversation with Bonnie Hammer

    In this episode I sit down with Bonnie Hammer, Vice Chairman of NBC Universal and author of the upcoming book, "15 Lies Women Are Told at Work and the Truth We Need to Succeed." And while I'm not normally impressed by people's job titles... with a book like that on the way? We obviously had to sit down for a chat. ;)
    Join me as we discuss Bonnie's remarkable career journey, from her early days cleaning up behind-the-scenes to leading major TV networks. We delve into the importance of mentorship, the lies women face in the workplace, and how to shatter those barriers.

    Mentally Strong Women: An Interview with Amy Morin

    Ever wonder if you're capable of having a world-changing idea? Or why so many women struggle with self-doubt and tend to downplay their successes? In this episode, I chat with Amy Morin, a psychotherapist and the author of the international best-seller 13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don’t Do. Amy's personal journey through grief and loss led her to uncover the secrets to mental strength, and she's here to share her wisdom on building unshakeable confidence. We talk about the societal pressures that make women doubt themselves, explore fascinating research on how boys and girls are treated differently from a young age, and share some practical tips to help you stop self-doubt in its tracks and truly own your brilliance.

Life-Changing

I’ve done a lot of therapy and coaching, yet Kara always surprises me with nuggets of things I didn’t know before. Or that I didn’t see due to my socialization as a woman.

It’s just marketing

I used to love this show. Lately it’s just been short blips marketing to buy the course. Quit wasting our time and just buy an advertisement.
