Knowing your worth is one thing. Negotiating accordingly is something else entirely.

In this episode, Katy and Rebecca unpack why so many women confidently negotiate on behalf of their teams, families, and organizations, yet hesitate when it comes to advocating for themselves.

From salary negotiations and promotions to title changes, budgets, and career growth, they explore the mindset shifts, strategies, and preparation required to negotiate with confidence and clarity.

Together, they discuss:

Why women often negotiate fiercely for others but struggle to do the same for themselves
The difference between self-worth and market value
Common mistakes women make during negotiations
Why preparation and data matter more than emotion
How to navigate workplace bias and professional double standards
When to negotiate, when to walk away, and how to make strategic career decisions
Why community and confidence are powerful tools in self-advocacy

Whether you're negotiating a salary, promotion, budget, title, or opportunity, this conversation will challenge you to stop negotiating against yourself and start advocating for the value you bring.

Because knowing your worth is only the first step. Acting on it is where the real power begins.
