Why are women still underpaid — and undervalued — in the workforce?
In this episode of The Kat Mak Show, Kat sits down with gender pay equity advocate Bex Howells to unpack the systemic challenges women face at work — and what it will take to create real change.
Bex shares her personal journey into advocacy, the cultural conditioning that keeps women undervaluing themselves, and why rebellion may be the very thing women need to reclaim their worth.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Gender pay equity and systemic bias• Why women undervalue their contributions• The hidden cost of service-based professions• AI and the future of job value• Building a movement for cultural change
If you’re a woman in business, leadership, or the workforce who has ever questioned your value — this episode will challenge you to think bigger and advocate louder.
