I had an educational and energizing chat with the incredible Meggie Palmer - a powerhouse, dedicated to helping women ask for what they deserve—whether it’s a bigger paycheck, an overdue promotion, or higher rates for self-employed folks. Her company PepTalkHer is all about closing the gender pay gap and empowering professionals to advocate for themselves.This episode is packed with actionable wisdom, so grab your pen!

During our conversation, Meggie explained how women can flip the script when it comes to negotiations, how to use leverage, and how to prepare your strongest arguments to earn more money. She shared her game-changing “3W Technique” (Wish, Want, Walk)—a method that helps professionals hone in on their ideal goal, their acceptable middle ground, and their dealbreaker. It was such a great reminder of the power of preparation and entering negotiations with evidence of your worth in hand. We also talked about embracing the wins and letting go of that negativity bias that makes us dwell on the bad over the good - and using that power to negotiate! Honestly, this is something we all need to hear loud and clear! Taking time to recognize and celebrate our successes, no matter how small, can completely rewire our mindset and positively impact how we show up in work negotiations and beyond. She has specific tips for self-employed folks like how to present your rates and what nMeggie’s energy and insights were electric, and I know so many of you will leave this episode feeling ready to negotiate like a boss.

Meet Kim: Kim Rittberg

Trae Bodge is a successful lifestyle writer and TV commentator who made the brave leap from beauty brand founder to creating her own unique space in retail and shopping expertise. I loved discussing our shared experiences of separating our identities from our corporate personas. After Trae left RetailMeNot, she discovered that her value wasn't tied to a corporate email address or brand name, but rather to their skills, relationships, and reliability.

One of my favorite moments was discussing those inevitable TV mishaps, like when Steve Harvey and Rachael Ray mispronounced Trae’s name on air. But what really resonated was Trae’s advice about finding "white space" - not just following your passion, but identifying what people actually need and where there's room in the market. Her journey from beauty entrepreneur to becoming one of the go-to shopping experts for major networks is a testament to the power of reinvention and staying true to your expertise. And now, she's launching a foundation to help other midlife entrepreneurs, which perfectly exemplifies how success can come full circle into giving back.

• How to network even when it’s frustrating - 3:14
• How to become self made through innovation - 11:12
• How to overcome a layoff - 14:20
• How to gain confidence as a freelancer - 21:08
