This week, we’re continuing the conversation from last week because one of the most common questions I get is: “How do I navigate salary negotiations in a way that feels confident to me?”

This best-of episode from The Flourish Careers Podcast vault features a conversation with fellow HR leader Sabine Gedeon, and it’s one of our most-loved episodes for a reason. If salary conversations have ever felt awkward or overwhelming, this episode is your friendly roadmap to negotiating with heart and strategy.

Show me the money! (without the awkwardness) Let’s be real—talking about salary at work can feel awkward… but it doesn’t have to be! In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow career coach, Yolanda Owens, and we’re talking about how to approach money conversations confidently and clearly. We explore salary transparency—why it matters, how it builds trust, and what companies can do beyond sharing numbers. When done right, transparency can level the playing field, drive equity, and help everyone feel more empowered. Let’s make talking about money feel less taboo and more empowering.

Something magical happens when women come together with open hearts and a shared intention.✨

As the Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Letting Go e-book launches into the world (today!!!), I’m holding onto that sense of connection—because we’re not meant to carry our stories alone.

Have you ever pushed through a long workday only to feel utterly drained—like no amount of caffeine or sleep could recharge you? That exhaustion might signal that it’s time to realign your energy.

In this final episode of Season 7, we’re wrapping up by focusing on energy. Your energy flows through five key dimensions, and everything feels harder when even one is off. Instead of pushing through, try shifting your energy. A slight realignment today can lead to big results.

That’s a wrap on Season 7! I’ll be back in a few weeks, but until then, thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting this show. You mean the world to me!

In this episode, I talk with Paige Arnof-Fenn, founder of Mavens & Moguls, to discuss the art of personal branding.

From optimizing your LinkedIn profile to dodging the biggest branding mistakes, Paige shares plenty of actionable tips to help you stand out and stay unforgettable.
