Episode 103 - How to ask for more at work (and what to do when the script falls apart)

Saison 7 · Épisode 103

mercredi 21 janvier 2026 • Durée 17:00

How to ask for more at work (and what to do when the script falls apart)

You've rehearsed this conversation a hundred times. You know exactly what you're going to say. And then your manager responds with something you didn't expect and suddenly your brain goes blank. The script you'd prepared just evaporates. You find yourself nodding along, saying "I understand" or worse, backing down entirely.

This episode of Career Espresso is about how to actually ask for more when the conversation doesn't follow your plan. Not the theory of negotiation. The real work of staying grounded when things go sideways.

What you'll discover

Why most advice focuses entirely on preparation but misses what actually happens in the room when things go off-script
The specific ways women are conditioned to backpedal when conversations get uncomfortable (and why recognising this helps)
What to say when you get hit with budget constraints, the praise pivot, or "I need to check with HR"
Why this is rarely one conversation and how to follow up without feeling like you're being annoying
Common patterns that keep women stuck: preparation as procrastination, the grateful trap, the "one shot" mentality

Perfect for leaders who've rehearsed these conversations but still find themselves accepting less than they came in asking for.

Episode 102 - What to do when your energy doesn't match your ambition

Saison 7 · Épisode 102

mercredi 14 janvier 2026 • Durée 15:59

What to do when your energy doesn't match your ambition

You know exactly what you want to do. You've got the plan. You might even have the opportunity sitting right in front of you. And yet... you can't seem to make yourself do it. You're not confused about what needs to happen. You've got ambition coming out of your ears. But somewhere between knowing and doing, there's this gap. This heaviness. This "I know, I know, but I just... can't right now."

This episode of Career Espresso is about what to do when your drive is intact but your fuel tank is empty. Not motivation tips. Not goal-setting advice. The real work of keeping going when you've got nothing left to give.

What you'll discover

The difference between "I've given up" and "I'm depleted" and why that distinction matters
What minimum viable progress looks like when you're running on empty
Why pushing harder when you're exhausted just digs a deeper hole
How to match your actions to your actual energy instead of the energy you think you should have
The extra costs women carry that often go unacknowledged and how they drain you faster

Listen to this episode if you still care about your goals but haven't got the energy to chase them right now.

Episode 93 - Now I'm their boss and it's awkward

Saison 6 · Épisode 93

mercredi 29 octobre 2025 • Durée 11:56

Now I’m their boss and it’s awkward

You got promoted and now you manage the people you used to work alongside. It feels odd for you and for them. This episode of Career Espresso is about naming the shift early, resetting how you work together, and staying human while you do it. We'll also talk about the quiet “who does she think she is” undercurrent women can face and how to hold your ground.

What you’ll discover

why this discomfort is normal when a peer becomes the manager
what to say in your first 1:1 so no one is guessing
how to step back from group chats and after-work venting without making a scene
how to respond if a colleague goes around you to another manager
a simple coffee-shop check-in that helps clear the air fast

Perfect for women leaders now managing former peers who want steady, practical language they can use this week.
