Money talk can feel awkward, but today’s guest is here to change that.

Claire Wasserman, the founder of Ladies Get Paid, teaches us exactly how women can navigate salary negotiations with confidence—no more sweaty palms or second-guessing.

Avery and Claire first dive into the wage gap and discuss why salary negotiation is a skill every woman needs. From researching compensation (hint: it’s more than just Glassdoor) to documenting your wins and understanding the full scope of benefits, Claire offers actionable strategies to help you advocate for yourself at work like a pro.

She also breaks down the role of HR in salary discussions and offers tips on building workplace allies to support your professional growth. Pro tip: likability does matter in negotiations—but so does timing, preparation, and knowing what not to say. 

Plus, Claire gives us her real thoughts on viral career advice—like the idea of “being delusional” in your asks—and advocates for a grounded, research-based approach that leads to real results.

Whether you’re gearing up for a performance review, planning your next big career move, or simply looking to feel more confident at work, this episode is packed with insights and strategies to help you own your worth.
