Navigating the Workplace: Advocating, Negotiating, and Knowing When to Leave
This is my comprehensive course for thriving in a more “traditional” job. If you’re an employee, this is for you. I’ll help you uncover what you need to feel better and teach you practical strategies and skills to make internal and external shifts to improve your salary, relationships, mood, circumstances, and confidence.
1. Introduction
-
(Audio, 84 min)
I share a very personal story about my career trajectory, including my recovery from burnout, how I learned to speak up for myself, the opportunities and challenges I said yes to, how I decided to quit two jobs, my journey as a freelancer, and how I got into coaching. I share how I learned that my body is my best compass for what’s working and what’s not. And I share how I’ve learned to create a work situation that lights me up, allows me to experiment, and gives me space and rest and unconditional self-worth. Thank you for listening.
-
(Audio, 19 min)
You’re feeling unfulfilled, underpaid, and/or overwhelmed at work. But you deserve work that doesn’t drain you, that supports and uplifts your wellbeing, that pays well, and makes an impact. You don’t necessarily have to quit your job and start the overwhelming process of figuring out what’s next.
2. How Advocating Can Help You
-
(Audio, 14 min)
Advocating is a skill that’s crucial to creating a life and job you love. I talk about my passion for and superpower of advocating for myself and others in the workplace. I share the unexpected doors that advocating can open for you. I explain the cultural and institutional significance of speaking up for yourself and others, leveraging your privilege, and uplifting your colleagues through collective advocacy.
-
(Audio, 29 min)
I share successful strategies from my own experience for anyone who works full-time at a company and wants to become a bolder, more impactful advocate for themselves and others. My strategies include: leveraging your best skills, doing daily-ish stretches beyond your comfort zone, tracking your wins, leveraging your recurring meetings, show and tell, creating a culture of celebration, and finding your champions.
-
(Audio, 15 min)
Asking for what you want can be very scary. It brings up all kinds of insecurities, past traumas, and fears. I share some of the most common barriers that keep people from speaking up in the workplace and offer some ways to get braver, bolder, and less attached to the outcome.
-
(Audio, 18 min)
What could you ask for at work that would make you feel delighted, fulfilled, secure, or valued? Using examples of the audacious things I’ve asked for in my career, I help you brainstorm all the things you could ask for. Then, I show you how to check those ideas against your desires to get really clear and specific about what request would actually fulfill your needs.
-
(Audio, 22 min)
Even if you're convinced the answer will be "no," I believe you should ask for what you want. I share a wealth of reasons and stories to embolden you. Asking for what you want (whether you get it or not), will benefit you in unexpected ways. And it makes a big difference in paving the way for others and creating a workplace culture that honors humanity, values labor, and breaks the silence of inequity.
-
(Audio, 26 min)
You know what you want to ask for. What’s the best way to ask? Your instincts and body know best. But in case it sparks some ideas, I share my experience and advice on determining how to ask, who to ask, and when to ask, including pro tips on tapping into your network and how budget cycles and staffing decisions are made in non-profits.
-
(Audio, 21 min)
Once you know what you want, this is the first step to making it happen. I share how to shift into a receptive state to receive what you want NOW, which will bring ease and results to your process. I share practices to help you legitimize, own, and embody your desires and signal to others that you’re ready to receive and enjoy them.
-
(Audio, 33 min)
Let’s talk about all the doubts and feelings coming up before you make an ask. I share context for why you’re feeling the way you do and strategies for how to address feelings and thoughts, validate them, reframe them, and move through them so they can be used as fuel for an impactful ask. These exercises and perspectives will help you make your request from a calibrated, grounded, clear place.
-
(Audio, 9 min)
A guided visualization to help you legitimize, embody, and receive what you want.
-
(Audio, 42 min)
If you only listen to one audio lesson about advocating at work, this is the one. What should you say to make an influential request? I share five guiding questions you can use to prepare, along with copious examples for making a balanced, direct, powerful request backed by evidence and influence. An ask that invites the other person to be your ally and gives them everything they need to take your request over the finish line.
3. Preparing to Advocate or Negotiate
4. Asking for What You Want
-
(Audio, 23 min)
I share some advanced negotiation skills, including the dynamics of where to put your attention and how to respond with open curiosity when someone tells you “no.” I talk about the dominant and submissive state of attention and how each can be wielded for influence. I also share examples for how to react to hesitation and resistance in the context of a work situation, bringing the other party in as your co-conspirator.
-
(Audio, 19 min)
I share two personal negotiation stories--one that worked and one that didn't. They illustrate that being crystal clear about what you want AND directly articulating it (without mixed messages) can be the difference between a "yes" and a "no." Also, I reassure you that sometimes you'll nail an ask and sometimes you'll bomb it. It doesn't have to mean that you totally blew it or you suck at this and should never try again. It just means you're human and you're a BADASS for trying.
5. Beyond Asking
-
(Audio, 18 min)
After making your big request, your job isn’t quite done. I share important ways to follow up on your request, deal with a “no,” check in and debrief about your needs, brainstorm alternatives, keep the door open, and celebrate your wins. This is a great opportunity to harvest lessons, build relationships, and take your temperature again: How do you feel about your work now, and what do you need to move forward and be well?

Wellbeing at Work: Relieving Overwhelm, Setting Boundaries, and Shifting Energy to Prevent and Heal From Burnout
A collection of resources to protect your energy and integrate wellbeing into your work-life.
-
(Audio, 28 min)
As you get clear about what drains you and what lights you up, you'll want to say "no" a lot more often. This is an enthusiastic pep talk about the vast benefits of saying "no" when something isn't aligned with your joy or violates your limits. But even when you want to say "no," actually doing it can be SO HARD. I share specific strategies for how to say "no," how to take care of yourself through the crazy discomfort, and how to find empowering freedom through the process.
-
(Audio, 9 min)
A simple energy practice that's useful at the end of a long workday or difficult encounter, when you're feeling depleted, or after a lot of stimulation. You'll clear what's not yours, call back what you've given away, and reinforce your natural boundaries.

[COMING SOON] A course to help you explore different paths and strategies to earn enough money, find fulfillment, and have a right-fit relationship to your job.
-
COMING SOON
Explore the pros and cons of various ways to earn income and find fulfillment, like having a job that just pays the bills, pursuing a career or monetizing a calling, versus a more “patchwork” approach to earning money (i.e. freelance, gig economy, several income streams, and other non-traditional work situations). Notice what ideas light you up and which ones make you feel heavy.
-
COMING SOON
In some seasons of life, we might want to earn money from multiple sources and have an era of experimentation and freedom (polyamorous work). In other seasons of life, we might value stability, mutual investment, going deeper, and a more auto-pilot approach (monogamous work). I share several ways of looking at this.
-
COMING SOON
I share candidly about what it can actually look like to adopt a patchwork way of working and making money, including ways of earning money and several different strategies for people who want to do so many things but don’t have enough time or energy.
-
COMING SOON
Let’s talk brass tacks of a more patchwork style of working: Money. Logistics. Practicalities. Fulfilling your needs.
-
COMING SOON
Let’s talk about the difference between fear you should listen to and resistance because you’re taking a risk. I validate and offer strategies for common road blocks and doubts, the inner critic voice, and perfectionism or people-pleasing that’s holding you back.
