The goal isn't to villainize anyone. It's to bring language to the stuff that usually gets filtered out.\nIn this episode, they discuss:\n• Appearance at work: hair, makeup, and the exhausting expectation of explaining your own body\n• The double-edged sword of looking young: reverse ageism early in a career, then ageism later\n• To thine own self be true, then read the room and act accordingly\n• Discernment as a skill everyone can practice, and why fool me once means never a second time\n• Getting an ADHD or autism diagnosis as an adult woman, and how masking finally stops working\n• Why periods, perimenopause, and menopause are still workplace taboo despite affecting most of the workforce\n• Remote work as a quiet equalizer for hair appointments, sick kids, doctor's appointments, and bad days\n• Maternity leave, flexibility, and the mental load that doesn't pause just because the job resumes\n• Go to therapy. All of you. All the time.\n🔗 Got a workplace story?
