I sat down to write this email and I genuinely could not pick a topic. I didn't know if I should tell you that four different women inside the pH+ Lab started new roles this month.

Getting back into the field she's been missing. Real women. Growing their Pay & Happiness at the same time. I didn't know if I...

Have you ever been told that setting boundaries at work is a career limiting move? That you need to prove yourself first. Keep your head down. Don't ask for too much too soon.

It is here. Land the Role is officially live and open for enrollment. And we just added something that gives you direct access to me throughout your entire search. Introducing The Hiring Room. The number one thing I hear from leaders going through a hiring process is this: I just need time with you to ask my specific questions. Live.

Hey 5% Club Waitlist, -Silly little people do silly little things- If you get a spot in 1:1 coaching, this is one of the first skills I’ll teach you—because it changes everything.
