In this mini-sode we will discuss Pretty Privilege, also known as a "beauty premium." We cover this appearance based discrimination, the science of Pulchronomics, and the STATS about how being beautiful, or "above average looking" will earn you above average wages, get you out of trouble with the law, and even earn you more social capital.
We go into the WHY - and the WHAT you can do when being pretty backfires on you.
What do you do when you are invited into the room for your looks, but no one wants to listen to your thoughts, ideas, and opinions?

Welcome to the Podcast "From Now to Next".
I'm Erica Rooney. Wife, Mom, Chief People Officer, Entrepreneuer, and Fitness Fanatic and I am on a mission to help every woman I meet, be empowered, be a boss, and be living the dream.
Getting there is not always that easy. In my line of work, I often see that it isn't a glass ceiling that holds women back - but rather our own sticky floors. These can be limiting beliefs, toxic behaviors or relationships, or dead beat relationships.
In this podcast, I'll be speaking with fellow ambitious, successful, and badass women who have gotten out of their own way - cleaned up their sticky floor, and are doing the damn thing!
Women just like you. We will share our stories of how we did it, mistakes we made, and the pivotal moment that changed everything.
If you want to level up, you are in the right place. Listen in and learn how to go from your NOW to your NEXT.
