Summary

In this show we're talking about women getting paid. Two business owners weigh in on how to charge for your services and how to respond to people who ask if they can 'pick your brain.' We tackle a question from a woman who knows she's paid less than the last man who did her job, but asks if she's happy, how much should she care? And we hear from a negotiation expert on how to use the negative voice in your head - the one that says 'you can't ask for that much!' - to help you get what you want.

This episode distills some findings from past shows. I'm using it as a springboard to more coverage on women and money in 2022. Guests today are Adrienne Graham, Kathy Caprino, Jacquette Timmons and Natalie Reynolds.

0:49.6	This time, women and money.
0:53.9	Some say, look, for us, work is about so much more than money.
1:06.1	But for others, what I find really interesting is only people who have the privilege of saying that it's not all about money can actually say it's not all about money.
1:14.6	And when you're negotiating a salary offer or asking for more money at a current job, it's worthwhile to prepare.
1:20.3	Take a moment, a few weeks beforehand, to step back and think, how am I feeling about this?
1:24.5	What am I dreading them saying to me when I ask of this?

1:36.1	Coming up on the broad experience.
1:57.9	Today I'm revisiting some moments from past shows where we focused on women's worth, how we often question that worth, how to charge for our services and how to negotiate.
2:04.1	There is still a sizable pay gap between women and men. I want to cover this more in the new year. But in the meantime, here are some guests whose words made me sit up and think.
2:10.4	The audio quality of the past definitely leaves something to be desired in some cases.
2:16.2	Back in 2014, I had been working for myself for a few years. I'd been
