My first business failed. Here’s what I learned.

May 29th I got the most amazing responses re: last week’s newsletter. Thank you for receiving it with such kindness and for encouraging this new direction of our Ladies Get Paid newsletter as I share personal stories, lessons, and action steps 🙏 “I’m shutting down the company.” We were standing on a street corner in Williamsburg on one of those freakishly hot days in the middle of winter. The kind that taunts you with a taste of spring, even though it won’t be for months. It was my second…

Pivotal Money Conversations that Transformed the Lives of 27 Women Leaders

Pivotal Money Conversations that Transformed the Lives of 27 Women Leaders In recent years, money has increasingly become less of a taboo topic, partially due to the conversations boomers had with their millennial children about personal finance. This openness has made it easier to discuss salary, to negotiate raises and higher rates, and, for women

I’m learning to live fearlessly

April 29th Trigger warning: Heart defects, surgery This newsletter is a bit different from what you usually receive from Ladies Get Paid. It took a lot to write and I know you’ll receive it with kindness. Marissa was the first to hear the murmur. She was a traveling nurse from Boston who’d fallen in love with the LA sunshine and never left. The doctor was summoned. He also heard it. He ordered an echo but told us not to worry. Every baby is born with a hole in their heart that closes within…

This is your opportunity to build real confidence

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I love taking something that traditionally “sucks” (negotiating, networking, job search) and showing you how to use it for empowerment. Don’t worry, this isn’t some “just think positive!” BS. I genuinely believe that if done in the right way, it’s an opportunity for you to come out stronger. Here’s what I mean: Negotiate = Demonstrate your value to the company (and feel friggin’ proud of yourself!) Network = Forge authentic connections with a…

Are you struggling to stay sane in your job search [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]?

“Can I just pay you to assign me to-do’s?” It was that comment from a private client of mine that sparked the idea of Ladies Get Hired. I’d been seeing a trend where my clients would have ah-ha moments during our sessions but by the next session, when I’d ask them if they followed through on them, the answer was usually no. Life was busy. They got overwhelmed. Sound familiar? I’ve learned a ton from the women I’m lucky to coach about navigating a career change. One of the most important…

13 essential skills to self-generate career momentum

Reader, you won’t believe what just happened. I wrote a really good email to you. It was an email I had meticulously planned out last week. I took a break, came back and… It was deleted. IT WAS DELETED!!!!!! After bursting into wailing sobs (in my defense, I am pregnant), and stomping around the house, I sat down to rewrite it. The email I rewrote was absolute crap. So I’m not sharing that with you. Then I realized I was having an extremely meta experience. My email to you was about how I…
