Did you know you can negotiate more than just your salary? In this episode, we're talking about all the things you can negotiate when a company extends a job offer. We'll also tell you what to do before you get to the negotiation stage, so that you don't end up getting underpaid or saying yes to a job offer you'll later regret. And Rosie will beg that everyone break the money taboo and start sharing their salary and benefits, because as we all know, knowledge is power.

How important is it to be a native English speaker when working in content design? Not at all.

There's a lot of talk about employees returning to the office. But what does that look like in today's world? Are you pro-remote work or couldn't be more excited to return to the office in-person? In this episode, we explore the different sides of returning to work, what it's like working through a pandemic, work boundaries, quiet quitting, and what it means for us to normalize rest.  Featuring Laura Lopez, Rosie Olaivar, Camila Pechous, Laura Costantino and Susanna Agababyan.

We all face some kind of challenge at work. Some of that struggle may be from managing difficult stakeholders, some from not having enough space to do what we need to do. In this episode, we cover our workplace battles and how we deal with them: advocating for our work, gaining influence, finding time to approach our work strategically, but also–learning when to let go and cut our losses. Because not every battle is meant to be fought or won.   Featuring Laura Lopez, Rosie Olaivar, Camila Pechous, Laura Costantino and Susanna Agababyan. Want to share your story?

Welcome to our very first episode! We're discussing all things imposter syndrome, something that even high-achieving people often struggle with. How do we frame it? Is it systemic or problematic to even talk about it? Where does it stem from? What can be done to break the cultural and societal layers behind it and instead nurture a healthier outlook on ourselves and the work that we do? We share our personal experiences and some practices that help us deal with imposter syndrome in our daily lives.  Featuring Laura Lopez, Rosie Olaivar, Camila Pechous, Laura Costantino and Susanna Agababyan.
