If you’ve ever been told to “fake it till you make it” or to “good things come to those who wait” and felt an overwhelming urge to roll your eyes… this one’s for you. In this episode, we’re calling BS on the workplace mantras that sound empowering but actually keep women small, silent, and spinning their wheels.

Bonnie Hammer — Vice Chair of NBCUniversal, legendary executive behind hits like Suits and Mr. Robot, and author of 15 Lies Women Are Told At Work — joins us to break down the real cost of these so-called “truths.” From corporate clichés to career gaslighting, we talk about the lies that sound like wisdom, the advice that’s anything but helpful, and the power of rewriting the rules on your own terms.

Because the workplace wasn’t built with women in mind — which means following the rules will only take you so far. And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is unlearn everything you’ve been told.
