After a few weeks of behind-the-scenes episodes inside the Career Clarity Program, we’re back to storytime, and this one is all about advocating for yourself.

In this episode, you’ll meet Laura, a marketing strategist and mom of three who landed a values-aligned job offer… that didn’t quite meet her needs. Instead of panicking or settling, she used a clear, collaborative negotiation approach to ask for more without feeling "pushy" or ungrateful.

I break down the exact framework and language she used, and how that conversation led to a higher salary, added flexibility, and a built-in salary review.

If you’ve ever wondered how to negotiate without feeling awkward or demanding, this episode will show you what advocacy can actually sound like!
