In this week’s episode…
For our latest session, we got the opportunity to speak with a guest we have long admired: the powerfully empathetic, action-minded Claire Wasserman. We discuss Claire’s journey of channeling her anger at persistent corporate misogyny and the importance of financial empowerment for women – forces that played a key role in her founding of Ladies Get Paid. Claire further shares her inspiring story of getting sued by a group of men’s rights activists (and turning those lemons into money). We also talk about the power of empathy in connecting to community and in negotiating effectively. Claire discusses her findings regarding the activation of fight / flight / freeze / fawn nervous system responses in women who are feeling stuck in their careers – and how to overcome them. Tune in for transformative life and career insights!
