Claiming Your Confidence

Meggie Palmer is an Aussie living in New York and the Founder of PepTalkHer. She’s on a mission to close the gender pay gap and give women the confidence to stand up and get paid what they’re worth. 

2020 has for many of us, brought up a lot of anxiety about job security and whether we can rely on our income still being there. It’s shaken a lot of our confidence - particularly for women - of knowing what our value even is at work now.

That’s why I thought Meggie would be the perfect guest to bring on because she has so many fantastic strategies for how we can rework our mindset around negotiating for what we’re worth - even in this crazy uncertain economic environment - how to even figure out whether we’re getting underpaid and what to do about it. 

In this episode you’ll learn Meggie’s fascinating personal story of how she got to where she is today, how to negotiate like a boss and a confidence hack Meggie used when she had to speak on stage after Barack Obama. Can you imagine? This is the most insane story ever. 

And of course everything we mention is in the show notes over at www.katrinablowers.com. 

So let’s Claim Our Confidence with Meggie Palmer.

If Sally Steele was an exotic bird she’d be a super stylish, bright pink flamingo wearing diamante sunglasses, glittery heels and a beret. Does that paint a great picture for you?

She’s a mentor, strategist, speaker and author and she actually had a HUGE influence on my life when I hired her back when she was a personal stylist and she went through my wardrobe to revamp my ‘mum’ style. 

Sure, she definitely got me back on track with my fashion - but what she did was so much bigger than that… she gave me the confidence to connect the dots between how I wanted to show up in the world with who I really was inside. She’s since helped thousands of women around the world do exactly that by ditching their inner bitch and becoming their own cheerleaders. 

In this amazing conversation on Claiming Your Confidence, Sally Steele and I talk about:

There is so much confidence wisdom in this episode. Sally has this saying that style is an inside job and self love is your superpower.

She’s passionate about changing the way people see themselves and she’s just pure FUN.

So let’s Claim our Confidence, with Sally Steele

Comedian Merrick Watts makes millions of people happy. I’m lucky enough to have laughed with him on a daily basis -  we co-hosted a number one breakfast show together on the Nova network in Sydney for around six years. He was one half of the hugely successful comedic duo Merrick and Rosso and it somehow ended up as my job on the show to keep them in line. Not really sure I succeeded!

As well as comedy, Merrick’s acted on Hollowmen and Underbelly and is a regular on TV shows like Thank God You’re Here and The Project. Now, he’s literally invented his dream job with his business Grapes of Mirth: taking comedy to wineries.

Now this episode was such a treat for me. Firstly we kind of got to relive being on radio together. But behind the comedic façade, Merrick is a really deep thinker who’s not afraid of sharing his vulnerabilities and I knew he would have some really great insights on confidence. 

In this fantastic episode:

So without any further ado… let’s Claim our Confidence with Merrick Watts.
