The podcast for ambitious, professional women who are tired of playing small and ready to overcome the invisible barriers that are holding us back at work.
In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores how we negotiate against ourselves before we ever have the chance to ask for what we want. We talk ourselves out of raises, opportunities, and difficult conversations because we've already decided the answer will be no. Cindy examines how our inner critic and inherited limiting beliefs convince us that we're simply being realistic when we're actually letting fear make our decisions. She explains why the first negotiation is always with ourselves and how questioning our assumptions, building better beliefs, and asking for more can change the direction of our careers.

242 - Their Problems Are Not Your Problems
Cindy Esliger explores the invisible work of managing everyone else's emotions while quietly suppressing our own. Being the steady one at work, smoothing over awkward moments, and absorbing other people's frustrations can become so automatic that we don't even recognize it as work. Cindy explains how emotional labor and the habit of keeping the peace can leave us exhausted, especially in male-dominated workplaces where women are often expected to manage the tone of the room. She examines why we take on problems that aren't ours to solve and how setting boundaries can help us reclaim our time, energy, and peace of mind.

241 - Rebuilding in the Aftermath of your Burnout
In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores what it really takes to rebuild our careers, professional reputations, and confidence after burnout. Burnout isn't just about exhaustion or dreading another Monday morning. It can change how we see ourselves and the people we work with, leaving us questioning our judgment and assuming the worst about others. Cindy examines why returning to work after burnout can be so difficult, whether that means returning to the same job, changing organizations, or starting over in a completely different field. The goal isn't to prove we can survive the same conditions that burned us out in the first place. It's to redefine what good work looks like and build a career that's actually sustainable.
