Summary
If you’ve ever stayed quiet in a meeting, held your tongue in a relationship, or worried that speaking up would come off the wrong way, you’re not alone.
This week, Sarah sits down with Siri Chilazi, co-author of Make Work Fair, for a heartfelt conversation about why it's so hard to advocate for ourselves, and how that struggle is often rooted in systems that were never built with fairness in mind. But it’s not all bad news, Siri also shares hopeful, practical ideas for how we can push for change, both in our own lives and in the structures around us. That includes real ways leaders can show up differently and create workplaces where everyone has a chance to be heard.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or just craving something better, this episode is a reminder that your voice matters.
