My next webinar is here. 90 minutes. To finally get paid what you’re worth—without working more. Open to all ambitious women who think, “They don’t pay me enough for this” and are tired of being overworked and underpaid. I’m going to teach you how to increase your salary without increasing your hours. (Hint: Because if working more hours were the answer, you’d be a millionaire by now.) Let’s be honest… → Every extra hour you work that isn’t reflected in your paycheck? That’s a pay cut. → Every time your workload increases but your salary doesn’t? That’s a pay cut. → Every year you don’t renegotiate a raise? That’s a pay cut. It’s Women’s History Month, and I'm here to remind you that women are paid approximately 18% less than our male counterparts as we carry 40% more of the mental load at home. This disproportionate imbalance needs to end now. It starts with you advocating for yourself and your career. Because when you know how to earn more without sacrificing more nights, weekends and the small, priceless moments with your family, your life truly begins. This webinar is for you if: ? ? You know you deserve more but are already at the top of your salary band. ? You’ve ever thought, “This job isn’t worth it.” ? You’re tired of working harder and seeing a negligible difference in your paycheck. Solving for this is the differentiator of continuing to struggle, complain and strain, vs. a life where you have more ease in your day-to-day. I’m going to show you how on my upcoming webinar, "Increase your Pay Without Increasing Your Hours" webinar. It’s happening on Tuesday, March 18th at 1PM ET. ? ??Click the link in the comments register. P.S. If you’re putting in Partner-level hours without the Partner paycheck, clear your calendar for this. Nothing is more important to your long-term wellbeing than making sure you’re compensated!

Being underpaid is a circumstance. Staying underpaid is a choice. ??? ? ? Many of you have been in my world for years, but when I get messages like this, I know I'm onto something. ? ? I know that I'm creating an insane amount of value for my community.? ? To the extent that you're getting raises and bonuses that exceed your ask. ? ? That by being in my world you can be making 10%, 20%, or 50% more.? ? That by being in my world you can be saving $50k, paying off debt AND going on luxurious vacations with your girlfriends. ? ? Now if you want to keep making less than you deserve, all you need to do is follow these 6 easy steps (but truthfully, I don't recommend it):? ? 1?? Work harder.? 2?? Say yes to everything.? 3?? Never ask for more.? 4?? Hope your boss “notices” all your effort.? 5?? Wait another year, and another, and another…? 6?? Ignore my post, my webinars and my life-changing coaching programs.? ? Now if an old "successful" colleague told you that these were the way to be successful, but you find yourself stressed out and underpaid, then something's clearly not working.? ? Because you're not making what you deserve.? You're not as happy as you think you should be.? You're not feeling successful (inside or out).? ? I have good news: You don’t have an effort problem. You have a strategy problem.? ? On *March 18th at 1PM ET*, I’m showing you how to increase your salary without increasing your hours—by changing how you work, how you position yourself, and how you advocate for what you deserve.? ? You too can have the effortless pay raise like you see in this message, because in many ways, it's just this easy once you register for my upcoming webinar, "Increase Your Salary Without Increasing Your Hours".? ? ?? Register now before another underpaid year passes you by.? ? ? #income #moneymistakes #moneysuccess #ownyourwealth #professionalgrowth

DAY 5/5: Do you blame your misery on your job?? ? As I reflect on my burnout experience, I took zero responsibility. Instead, I blamed it on my job--an inconsiderate manager, weekly travel and no time for me. ?? ? But I'm the one that made matters worse:? ? I tortured myself by isolating from the people and things I loved. ? I tortured myself by cutting out exercise.? I tortured myself by eating takeout 3x/day and drinking alcohol to excess.? ? It was a toxic relationship I CREATED—but what I didn’t realize was that I had more power to break the cycle than I thought.? ? ??WHAT COULD I HAVE DONE TO PREVENT BURNOUT???? ? So many things, but here's a short list:? ? 1. Said "NO" more. ? My burnout began when I believed success meant saying yes to everyone and pushing myself to the limit. I was wrong—boundaries matter.? ? 2. Listen to my body. ? Before the ER visit, I masked my pain with pills and creams. I should have focused on understanding and addressing the root causes instead.? ? ?3. Asked for help sooner. ? After my burnout, I spiraled into self-doubt, thinking I had to fix it on my own. It took years to recover—I should’ve sought help from a professional (i.e., coach, mentor, therapist). Burnout is detrimental.? ?? ? I share this story to prevent others from having the same fate as me (or worse). ? ? Because this isn't just a one-off experience; for some of us, IT'S LITERALLY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.? ? If I can offer one word of advice: learn from my story and don't let it become yours.? ???? The best time to work on your burnout? 10 years ago.? ? The second best time? Today. ? ? The Career Comeback is currently available for women looking to break the cycle of burnout and reclaim control of their career NOW. They're done sitting on the sidelines waiting for others to snag their promotion. They're done hoping for a better boss/better market.? ? They want results TODAY.? ? ?

DAY 4/5: TBH, the months that followed were far more painful than my trip to the ER.? ? Once the physical symptoms subsided, the emotional burnout set in: ? ? - Am I smart enough?? ? - Am I capable enough?? ? - Is this the rest of my life? ? ? You want big things, but you’re also expecting your company to help you have a career comeback post-burnout. ? ? HERE’S THE THING: Your company isn't going to save you. ????? ? They're not going to help you out of a poor performance review. ? They're not going to position you after getting passed-up for promotion.? They're not going to ?create a flexible working arrangement after being diagnosed with a chronic health condition.? ? Because it’s not their job. It’s YOUR job.? ? ? Choosing success OR burnout recovery doesn't work in the long run.? ? You need a path for success at work WHILE recovering from burnout. ? ? Otherwise, you're holding yourself back from your career growth, your earning potential and your overall happiness. ? ??? Let’s be real:? - Your job could lay you off tomorrow. ? ?- You could wake up one morning to an unexpected health diagnosis.? - Something happens and a family member could suddenly demand more of your time.? ? And the longer you "wait it out" with burnout, the worse it'll get. (Ask me how I know ??)? ? My program The Career Comeback ends your burnout in less than 90 days as you position yourself for that next career move. ? ? It's easy when you have me as your guide, and the ROI of this program is unmatched.? ? ?Your success begins when you take the first step.? ? Schedule a consult for The Career Comeback today.

DAY 3/5: The new doctor arrived with a whole different set of questions. He saw something I didn't see. ?? ? ? Instead of asking about what I ate, he asked:? ? "Tell me about your life?."? "Tell me about your work.?"? "Tell me about your STRESS."? ? Once I explained my current work situation, he hypothesized that my body was having a stress reaction. ? ? He told me he was not going to give me any medicine. He turned on HGTV and walked out of the room. He said he’d be back in a bit. ? ? I freaked. ? ? It was Valentine's Day.? ? I had a flight to catch THAT NIGHT.? ? I had a date with my new boyfriend and I didn't want to get stuck in Minnesota for the weekend.? ?? To expedite this process... I laid back per the doctor’s orders.? ? I didn't open my laptop. (There was no internet.)? I didn't call anyone. (There was no service.)? I just watched TV.? ? When the doctor returned two hours later, my hives were gone.? ? Just as he suspected, my symptoms occurred as a result of stress. ? ? He urged me to consider the cost of my stress, because “if your lifestyle and this career continue in the same trajectory, it will only get worse."? ? At that moment, I declared February 14th, 2013 my official rock bottom. ? ? Deep down, I knew there had to be something better...? ? I didn't know "what" or "how", but I knew I would spend the rest of my life, or as long as it took to figure it out.? (??12 years later, I'm grateful to have supported thousands of individuals recover from their workplace burnout.)? ? ???But I know you're out there thinking... So now what?! Did I make my Valentine’s Day? Did I quit my job? Or tell-off my boss? ? ? Follow along ?? for the final two days to see what happened after I was discharged from the ER.? ?? ? P.S. If this story strikes a chord, send me a DM. There is no perfect time to raise your hand for support, but starting now will ALWAYS be better than waiting after busy season, waiting for things to get easier or waiting for symptoms to magically disappear. if you’re reading this, you’re ready to book your consultation now.

DAY 2/5: When I realized that my body was breaking out in hives, I started to panic. ? ? I've never had hives. ? ? I needed immediate support, but the only medical support available to me was the nearest ER, 20 minutes away. ? ? On my way out of the hotel restaurant, my manager reminded me: “bring your laptop with you.” ?WRONG #1?? ? I didn't think twice. I grabbed my laptop and got into the cab, heading to the ER. ??WRONG #2?? ? I was discharged around 2am. I intentionally emailed my team so that they could see the time stamp, and I said, "I was on the way back to the hotel and would I'd meet at our regular time in a few hours." ??WRONG #3?? ? I didn't feel up to going in, but I didn't feel like I had a choice. ??WRONG #4?? ? A few hours later, I went back to work. ????♀?? ? From the moment we arrived at the client's office, and as we were unpacking our laptops, my manager asked me, "What were you able to work on last night?"? ? Like clockwork, I felt hives begin to spread all over my body. Again.? ? My skin felt hot and my sense of control over the day seemed to slip from my grasp. ? ? I thought: "Didn't he get my email?", "Doesn't he care at all?", "WTF?!"? ? I excused myself and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and noticed the tomato-colored skin that was taking over my body... AGAIN! ? ??? I uncomfortably excused myself from the office and went back to the ER for a second time.? ? How is this possible? What is going on?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!?!?!? ? ? ?WHAT WENT WRONG HERE:?? 1. Do not ask someone headed to the hospital to work in the waiting room.? ? ? 2. Have the courage to tell your team that you will not be working from the hospital. Communicate your needs clearly and as soon as you can.? ? 3. Request the time off that you need. Don't expect others to give it to you. Speak up and advocate for yourself.? ? 4. When you don't feel good, don't go into the office. No job is ever worth your health or wellbeing. Period.? ? ? ??Which of these have you used for yourself or used to advocate for a colleague? 1, 2, 3 and/or 4? Share below.????? ?
