Women are silently losing over half a million dollars across their careers — not from big mistakes, but from three subtle traps: Delay, Doubt, and Default.

In this episode of Tiger Sisters, we expose how these invisible money leaks happen, why women are disproportionately affected, and the practical tools you can use to reclaim your wealth. Backed by research, real stories, and the frameworks we’ve tested ourselves, this episode will change how you think about money.

We share:
 ✅ How delaying investments or salary moves can cost ~$500K+ — and the automation trick to stop it
 ✅ Why women are 29% more likely to feel “not investment ready” — and the role-play method that flips doubt into confidence
 ✅ The danger of defaulting to the first offer, 0% 401k contributions, or cash hoarding — and how wealth circles can boost savings by 45%
 ✅ Case studies from missed Bitcoin to comp transparency spreadsheets
 ✅ A mini exercise to identify your money story: survival, victim, or creator

If you’ve ever felt behind, avoided your finances, or wondered why money feels harder than it should — this one’s for you.

After spending $250,000 on a Stanford MBA, I realized the most valuable lessons were the invisible soft skills — the mental operating systems that help you build trust, influence, and actually lead everyone around you.

In this episode of Tiger Sisters, we share the 3 most powerful frameworks from Stanford GSB that transformed how we show up as leaders — and how you can apply them immediately.We share:

✅ The SBI feedback model from “Touchy Feely” — used by Netflix, Microsoft, Adobe

✅ Power mapping from Jeffrey Pfeffer’s Paths to Power — why influence beats titles

✅ Executive communication with the SCQA framework — clarity is stronger than being “smart”

✅ Real company case studies (Sheryl Sandberg at Google/Facebook, Amazon product launches)

✅ Mini exercises to practice each framework today

We’ve uncovered the real daily habits that set the top 1% apart. In this episode of Tiger Sisters, we break down five habits that actually move the needle — not lemon water or 5 a.m. wakeups, but science-backed methods used by the most powerful women in the world (and tested by us). Each comes with case studies and mini exercises you can apply today.

✅ Separate fact from feeling to stay clearheaded

✅ Audit your calendar so it reflects your real priorities

Most of us were never taught how to make life’s biggest decisions — not in school, not in our first jobs. At Stanford GSB, we learned frameworks that rewired how we think about careers, relationships, and life itself.

This episode is Part 2 of our most downloaded series (“Everything We Learned at Harvard & Stanford”), where we break down three powerful tools from Stanford Business School and show you how to apply them — with real company case studies and mini exercises you can try right now.

We share:

✅ Jobs to Be Done — why people really “hire” products (LinkedIn, Netflix, Sisters Matcha)

✅ Mini exercise: uncover what people are hiring you for at work

✅ Decision Trees & Expected Value — how billion-dollar companies (and you) make better choices without spiraling

✅ “I may be wrong, but I’m not confused” — a decision-making mindset shift

✅ A 4-step method to evaluate job offers, entrepreneurship, or any life pivot

✅ Life as a Product Roadmap — how to use OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) to prioritize what matters

✅ Real examples of health, fitness, and creativity OKRs — and how accountability helps you follow through

What if we told you Mel Robbins’ wildly popular “Let Them” theory… might be doing more harm than good?

In this Tiger Sisters episode, we take an unflinching look at one of the internet’s favorite self-help mantras — revealing where it actually empowers you… and where it quietly erodes your boundaries. From Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to Taylor Swift, we break down real-world examples of when “Let Them” works — and when it’s just conflict avoidance.

Then we take it further: introducing “Let Me” — the mindset shift that puts you back in control.Mel Robbins made it famous. We’re breaking it open — and showing you how to use one of today’s most viral mindset tools so it actually strengthens your power, relationships, and clarity.

◦ PE 101 – Why firms buy entire companies instead of a few Robinhood shares.

◦ The Money Machine – “2 & 20,” carried interest, and jaw‑dropping payouts.◦ Leveraged Buyouts – House‑flipping on a billion‑dollar scale (RIP Toys “R” Us).

◦ Bad‑Guy Narrative – Layoffs, asset‑stripping, and the Hilton comeback you missed

◦ What It Means for YOU – As founder, employee, or customer when a PE firm moves in.

Get hot‑girl clarity on money, power, and the incentives that shape everything from your salad chain to your hospital.
