This week on the podcast, Chloe and Michelle are back with their usual unfiltered chat and yes, there’s a rant.

“We’d love to have you.”
“It’ll be great exposure.”
“We don’t have budget, but…”
And that’s where the discomfort sits.
Because there’s something deeply contradictory about celebrating women’s expertise, leadership and contribution — while simultaneously not valuing it enough to pay for it!
