Episode 41: How To Be A Boss In Your Love Life And In Your Career

---

---

Hey Career Girl Nation!

This is an episode you don’t want to miss. I get to interview Charreah Jackson, author of the new book Boss Bride: The Powerful Woman’s Playbook for Love and Success. 
Charreah has spent more than 10 years researching healthy relationships and careers. She’s also a senior editor for Essence magazine, and her stories have been featured on CNN, NBC, Time, Fortune, and more. 

Being a “boss bride” is all about a state of mind. It starts with finding the parallels between your work and home life and merging them into one. 

Over 50% of households have a female who is making all the money, or a “female breadwinner” so to speak. It’s the new normal, and yet hiring managers are still basing their decisions on your social status in life. Are you engaged? Planning a wedding? Married?

There’s also a struggle with finding the right partner in your life, and it’s not a choice that should be taken lightly. You need to be strategic and intentional with your romantic life, in the same ways you approach your professional life. 

If you want to be a boss at your love life and your job, episode 41 is a must listen!

Episode 39: Why Being Underpaid is Costing You More Than Just Money

---

---

Hey Career Girl Nation!

In this episode, I get to interview a very special guest! I’ve known Mr. Nemo Ashong for close to two years, who is the founder of Empjoyment. He talks about his mission to have a truly inclusive and empowered world, and how we can value ourselves and know our full self-worth.

All of us are priceless, but we live in a world where things cost money and we need to afford that lifestyle. We should be pushing to get top dollar to where we are. But first, we need to be able to demonstrate our value, and own who we are.

I’m talking to a lot of women who are working to get the salaries they deserve, but there are systems at play where they don’t get paid at the same levels as men. A woman only makes 80 cents for every dollar that a man makes. For a black woman, they make even less. We discuss how you can start creating a space where you can speak freely, and open more doors.

If you know you are worth more and you want your salary to grow, episode 39 is a must listen!

Episode 38: Real Life LinkedIn Strategies for Black Women in Corporate America

---

---

Hey Career Girl Nation!

In this episode, I sit down with a very exciting guest! Meet Aithyni, owner of The Career Design Lab, and working during the day as a diversity and inclusion manager. She talks with us about her journey, and how LinkedIn helped transition her to a new and amazing career.

LinkedIn is a place with no judgment, a space for starting open genuine discussions with like-minded people. Even if you aren’t job searching right now, it’s still important to find those connections.

There are also many unique challenges women face in the workplace, no matter what your skin type. Many of us face unconscious bias, myself included. We dig deeper into how LinkedIn can help you leverage, and battle that bias.

If you want to own your career and find the right people that will navigate the way to your goals and dreams, episode 38 is a must listen!

Hey Career Girl Nation!

Today’s episode is all about tapping into that hidden job market so recruiters will come knocking at your door.

On a weekly basis, I have several recruiters from top notch companies reaching out to me. 

In three weeks one of my clients already had three competing job offers.  

You want recruiters beating down your doors begging for an interview, not the other way around. I use the same strategies in my business.

I’m going to break down these strategies even more for you, starting with the power of LinkedIn. 

LinkedIn is the most impactful tool you can use for your networking, job search, and connecting with other recruiters and peers.

If you want to get noticed and have all the opportunities come to you, take a listen to episode 35!

Hey Career Girl Nation!

In this episode I sit down with Jamila Souffrant, a money coach and creator of the blog Journey To Launch and we discuss some ideas of how you can expand your earning potential and keep as many coins as possible.

Many of us don’t realize the importance of budgeting. We don’t track what we spend, or how much we spend on items like groceries or transportation.

You can be making a lot of money and still be broke, living paycheck to paycheck. But there are ways to use the tools and the money you have to make even more!  

Each of us has a customized journey when it comes to money and finances. It’s really important to start thinking about what your goals are, and making sure your actions are lining up with those goals.   

If you want to reach your financial goals and learn valuable tips on budgeting, episode 36 is a must listen!
