Everyone loves to romanticize “finally taking a break” over the holidays but what if you don’t want one?

In this episode, we talk about the weird judgment that comes with working through the holidays, being labeled a workaholic, and why loving your job doesn’t automatically mean you’re “running from something.”

If you’re building something, grinding while everyone else clocks out, or just tired of being told to slow down when you’re finally in your zone, this one’s for you.

Work through the holidays. Don’t. We don’t care.

Merry Workmas!

This week we unpack some unhinged tones people use at work... the baby voice, the monotone “I hate my life” customer-service voice, the ‘she’s-the-man’ bro voice, and the bitch voice that makes everyone assume you hate them.

We break down why some people sound like NPCs, how tone exposes your mood before your words do, and why women sabotage themselves by switching into voices that aren’t theirs.

We also talk about finding your real voice, matching energy and how one compliment turned a hostile waitress into a baddie for the rest of the night.

We sat down (and shared a mic because we’re professionals) with a woman who started working at 12 and somehow still believes in work ethic, confidence, and not letting men pigeonhole you. We covered growing up with brothers, male-dominated workplaces, the creeps who strike at family court (yes, family court), and the ones who pretend to be your dad’s friend before acting unhinged.

It gets real, it gets vulnerable, and yes... Madison and Anastasia were drunk again. If you’ve ever questioned your worth, your career choices, or why men say the wildest shit at the worst possible moments, this one’s for you.

Confidence tips, red flags, trauma recovery, workplace survival… and somehow, still, jokes.

Join us at our first Hoe to CEO holiday party and you might as well pour a drink, because things went off the rails way too quickly. We covered party etiquette, dress code, questionable decision-making, and yes… we sang. We clearly consider ourselves experts at “holding it together” so you can watch the evidence and decide for yourself. Some of us may wake up with Sunday Scaries, but it won’t be you. Sip with us, cringe with us, and learn from other people’s mistakes instead of starring in Monday’s office gossip. Cheers, hoes and happy holidays!

On the first Hoe to CEO confessional episode our (anonymous) guest talks about what she would tell her younger self and how to use the dossier of f*ckery to beat the game they built.

Men call it flattery. We call it delusion. Anastasia & Madison talk about the art of decoding creepy compliments and how to turn “you’re too pretty to work here” into leverage for closing that mothaf*ckin’ deal.
