Stop Overthinking at Work: Building Confidence, Managing Up, and Navigating Workplace Emotions with Melody Wilding, Executive Coach, Human Behavior Professor, Author & Licensed Therapist
Why do so many high performers struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, and feeling like they have to prove themselves at work?
In this episode, Her Workplace Founder & CEO Marilynn Joyner sits down with Melody Wilding, bestselling author of *Trust Yourself* and *Managing Up*.
Melody is a licensed social worker, executive coach, and professor of human behavior who has spent more than a decade helping high-achieving professionals at companies like Google, JPMorgan Chase, and Verizon communicate more clearly, prevent burnout, and navigate complicated workplace dynamics.
Known for her work on what she calls “sensitive strivers”—ambitious professionals who feel deeply, think deeply, and often overthink—Melody shares practical strategies for turning emotional awareness into a professional advantage.
In this conversation, Melody breaks down why so many ambitious professionals struggle with overthinking, how to build confidence in high-stakes environments, and how to effectively manage up so you can get the support, visibility, and opportunities you need to grow your career.

What Happens When Women Get Access: The Elevate Her Summit Recap & A Message Reflecting on International Women’s Day with Marilynn Joyner, Founder & CEO of Her Workplace
Last week, something extraordinary happened.
Hundreds of ambitious women walked into Nasdaq Headquarters in Times Square for The Elevate Her Summit, a career accelerator designed to give women access to the conversations, leaders, and opportunities that move careers forward.
And the timing couldn't have been more powerful.
Just days later, we celebrated International Women’s Day—a moment meant to recognize the progress women have made and the work that still lies ahead.
In this solo episode, Her Workplace Founder & CEO Marilynn Joyner reflects on the biggest lessons from The Elevate Her Summit—what happens when women get access to the right people, resources, and opportunities. She shares behind-the-scenes insights from building the Summit, the risks and realities of hosting a major event as a founder, and the moments that reminded her exactly why Her Workplace exists.
This episode is also a reflection on International Women’s Day, and a reminder that while progress has been made, access to opportunity, leadership, and decision-making still isn’t equal.
Marilynn also shares the three things ambitious women should focus on right now to build real career momentum in today’s changing workplace.
If you've ever felt like you were building your career without a roadmap, waiting to be invited into rooms where decisions happen, or wondering how to actually accelerate your growth, this conversation is for you.
Because the future of women’s leadership will not be built by waiting. It will be built by creating the rooms ourselves.

Part 2 of Building Influence & Your Network—Building a Network That Actually Works for You with Marilynn Joyner, Founder & CEO of Her Workplace
Networking is one of the most talked-about career strategies, and one of the most misunderstood. If the word makes you think of awkward cocktail parties, forced small talk, or reaching out to people only when you need something, this episode is about to change that.
In Part 2 of this two-part series, Her Workplace Founder & CEO Marilynn Joyner digs into the strategy of building a network that genuinely works for you.
She covers why your next career opportunity is probably coming from a weak tie (not your closest connections), how to build a Relationship Map that shows you exactly where your gaps are, and the eight principles of intentional, authentic networking that she’s used to grow Her Workplace.
Marilynn also gets into the power of proximity and shares practical, low-pressure ways to reconnect with people you’ve lost touch with, without it feeling weird or transactional.
Whether you’re building your network from scratch, rebuilding after a pivot, or looking to finally activate the connections you already have, this episode will give you a clear, actionable path forward.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, start there—we cover the visibility foundation that makes everything in this episode land even harder.
