Why are so many women working harder than ever but still underpaid?

Career strategist and former recruiter Tessa Grashuis joins me to unpack the hidden world of salary compression — what it is, how it shows up, and why it keeps talented professionals stuck. 

We talk about the smartest ways to negotiate at the offer stage, advocate for yourself inside your current role, and push back on outdated systems without blowing up your career. Tessa also shares what really happens behind the scenes in hiring and why persistence matters more than a single yes or no.

If you've ever felt deflated asking for a raise or nervous about negotiating, this episode will give you both the insight and confidence to fight for what you deserve.
