You’ve got the experience. You’re delivering results. So why does asking for more still feel... off? Today I’m talking about the internal blockers that hold us back from advocating for ourselves, especially when it comes to money, promotions, or recognition. It’s not just about timing or strategy.

What Do They Really Want?

How to Get What You Want ·

The stakes of a negotiation are usually obvious. But the interests, the things that actually matter to the other person but never make it into the contract, are often overlooked. And when that happens, both sides lose. In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between stakes and interests, how to spot what is really driving someone’s decision, and how to use that insight to get better results in every kind of conversation.

Tired Decisions Are Bad Decisions

If you're making decisions just to get them off your plate, you're not making good ones. When mental fatigue sets in, clarity goes out the window, and that’s when bad calls happen.

Is It Fear or Excitement? How to Catch It Before You...

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/05/06

Fear and excitement feel a lot alike in the body. The racing heart, the urgency, the pressure to act quickly. But if you cannot tell which one you are feeling in the moment, you are more likely to make decisions you regret later, either saying no too soon or saying yes too fast. In this episode, I am unpacking how fear and excitement impact our judgment and why slowing down just enough to catch what you are feeling can change everything. I will walk you through how your brain processes pressu...

The Future You Is Not Coming to Save You

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/04/22

You’ve said yes because it’s next month. Or two weeks from now. You’ll have more space, more clarity, more capacity… right? Except when the time comes, you’re just as busy, just as stretched, and the you who made the commitment is long gone. In this episode, I’m calling out the quiet trap we fall into when we outsource hard things—decisions, conversations, priorities—to our future selves. I’ll share why this mindset sneaks up on smart, capable people, how it erodes trust in ourselves, and wha...

How to Get What You Want ·

2025/04/15

Scarcity doesn’t always show up as panic or pressure—it often shows up as tunnel vision.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how scarcity creeps into your decision-making and negotiation style—and how to interrupt it. I’ll walk you through three specific ways to shift out of scarcity, expand your perspective, and move forward with clarity. Because stronger de...

Are you waiting for someone to recognize your value or hand you an opportunity? Your career isn’t a waiting game—it’s a negotiation. Success doesn’t happen by staying quiet and hoping to get noticed.
