This is for anyone who wants to ask for more without seeming “difficult.” My client (let’s call her Jenna) came to me after a fintech company reached out about a senior role. She’d been passively open to leaving her current startup, where leadership dysfunction was driving people out despite a team she liked.But here’s what…

This is for anyone who is ready to earn more and feel better. I broke my New Year’s resolution on January 1st. Not January 15th, when most resolutions supposedly die. Not even January 2nd, which would have at least given me bragging rights for completing a single day. Day One. The very first day of my “hardcore novel-writing…

This is for anyone who is ready to earn more and feel better. I had a coaching session last week that I can’t stop thinking about. My client — let’s call her “A” — has done everything right. Six years at her company. Promoted to director. On the IPO readiness team. Got flown to the NASDAQ floor. Won their top award…

Earn better. Welcome to Ladies Get Paid, a weekly newsletter that helps you build a better work-life. Was this sent to you? Subscribe here so you don’t miss the next one. This is for anyone who lies in bed, feeling like they lost themselves somewhere in the day. That used to be me, a few months ago. Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, doing mental math on how I’d wasted another day. Not wasted in the traditional sense. I’d worked. I’d parented. I’d answered emails and made dinner and folded…

Hey Reader, At least once a day, I get asked for book recommendations. And as someone whose been through some seriously hard seasons (divorce, my son’s medical crisis, major debt, and more), I had to find good resources to get me through it. I finally sat down and put together a list of 20 books that transformed my life. I organized them by what you might be going through right now: Burnout. Negative self-talk. Identity shifts. Trauma. Money stuff. Breaking old patterns. These aren’t books…

This is for anyone who is really hard on themselves. I was shocked to see the stats on my podcast. There in my inbox was Spotify Wrapped, congratulating me on (apparently?) beating out most of the other podcasts on their platform. In the top 15% of videos. More shares than 97%. Outpaced 72% of other show’s growth….

Earn better. This is for anyone who feels the itch to change. When I read somewhere that hair stores trauma, I knew I needed to cut mine. Not a trim. The whole thing. I did it once before, nine years earlier after getting married (the first time) and starting Ladies Get Paid. I craved that energy again. Freshness. Newness. Possibility. My hair was starting to feel like a burden, literally and metaphorically. It represented a version of me that I’d outgrown, or at least was in the process of…

Earn better. This is for anyone who struggles with a gratitude practice. Let me guess: you’ve tried gratitude journaling. You dutifully listed three things you’re grateful for. You felt… nothing. Or worse, you felt guilty for feeling nothing. Like you were failing at being grateful, which is somehow even more depressing than just being ungrateful in the first place. You’re not broken. The practice is. Where Gratitude Went Wrong Gratitude journals exploded into mainstream wellness culture in…

Earn better. This is for anyone who feels like they can’t show up as their full, messy self. My wife was not thrilled that I shared our debt number to the entire internet a few months ago. Some family members also raised their eyebrows at my “oversharing”…and they’re not wrong. But I’m conflicted. On one hand, I understand their desire to keep “things private.” On the other hand, the topics I cover (money, negative self-talk, being a woman in the workforce, heck, being a woman), are so…

Earn better. This is for anyone who feels the gap between where they are and where they want to be. This was the year I lost my ambition. Or so I thought. When I started Ladies Get Paid, I dreamed of building an empire. Millions of people, millions of dollars. But then too many hiccups happened: misplaced bets, bad luck, bad timing, and I went from big dreams to just wanting to provide for my family. Now I’m the primary parent for our 21-month old twins, having lost breadwinning privileges to…
