20: Overcoming Female Rivalry In Business
Here’s a not-so-fun fact for you: Only 2% of us women are CEOs. Better yet, only 13% of us are in C-level executive positions.    Now, think of how quick we are to pass judgment on other women who are in these positions.    Think of how we’re reiterating the false narrative that the ONLY way we can achieve success or power is through competing against one another.    Think of how we don’t trust a woman who has made it.    Our instincts have GOT to change, ladies. Women need to learn how to support one another and work together in order to become the leaders our societies desperately need.    In this episode, we discuss: There is no limited space for women at the top Your judgment of other women and its projection of insecurities Challenging women to collaborate versus compete Building a legacy and paving way for other women   Connect with Brittney: Facebook Instagram TikTok YouTube

Ladies – stop talking shit to yourself!   As women we are absolutely terrible with this; no matter what it is, if we DON’T do something perfectly… we’re the first people to tear ourselves apart.   And for what?! We don’t deserve it. In fact, if we talked to anyone else the way we do to ourselves, we would not be walking around unscathed.    So today, I want you to begin to see yourself the way everyone else around you does by giving you three strategies that’ll help you stop degrading yourself.    In this episode, we discuss: Getting out of your own way through self-awareness Envisioning yourself speaking to another person this way Building out your personal board of directors Commanding the mindset that you CAN do this   Connect with Brittney: Facebook Instagram TikTok YouTube

15: Gratitude Is Costing You
We’ve all had someone who has helped us along the way that we feel gratitude towards.    But one thing I don’t want you to do is continue down a rabbit hole of being gracious for every little thing – it will do nothing but water down your self-worth, make you feel as though everything that has happened is by luck…   And it’s going to cost you SO much throughout your career.    In this episode, we discuss: Downplaying your success False narratives around money The idea of having to overwork yourself Not having to be grateful to others for where you’re at   Register for the PowHER Live Workshop: https://www.claimyourpowher.com/live-workshop   Connect with Brittney: Facebook Instagram TikTok YouTube

14: How To Be Unapologetic About Who You Are
It’s a natural impulse to want to present ourselves in the best light…   But SO much research tells us that by filtering out who we are to fit the mold is harmful to our mental health; we’re forcing ourselves to hide our authentic selves from the world.    Continuing in this behavior and thinking that it can lead you to better opportunities will never work.    In fact, it will only riddle you with imposter syndrome, and bring you into situations that don’t align with who you are at your core.    In this episode, we discuss: Playing a part you’ve thought you needed to play Owning and dominating in your space Being unapologetically you Stop making excuses for who you are Unnecessary apologies and how to navigate those situations   Register for the PowHER Live Workshop: https://www.claimyourpowher.com/live-workshop   Connect with Brittney: Facebook Instagram TikTok YouTube
