There are two ways to change your financial situation.

Spend less or make more.

Today, we're talking about the latter and how to negotiate like a woman.

Let's get into it.

Welcome back, Financial Feminists. I'm excited to see you. Thank you for being here. My name is Tori. I'm a money expert. I'm a New York Times bestselling author. I fight the patriarchy by making you rich. And I host this show, which is the number one money podcast for women in the world. I've helped over 5 million women save money, pay off debt, start investing, start businesses, and feel financially confident. And if you're here, you're in good company.

So if this is your first time, welcome. I hope you stick around. And if you're an oldie-buddy goody, welcome back. We recently did an episode with Aaron McGoff about the job market in 2025,

and it was one of the most popular episodes we've done in a while. One of the biggest questions we got from you all was, okay, what happens when you get past the initial stages of the job

interview and are ready to get the job offer? How do I know how to negotiate? How do I know even

what to say? But also, what kind of numbers or things should I be asking for. I think this is what

trips a lot of people up is they know, hopefully, that they should be negotiating, but then they're like,

what do I say? How do I say it? How do I not piss somebody off? And also, what do I even ask for?

So this previous episode from Catherine Valentine was so insightful about the negotiation process for both new hires, but also for those of you who are looking to negotiate your salary at your yearly annual reviews. So we wanted to reshare it with you because it is value-packed.

As a child of a single working mom, Catherine Valentine grew up acutely aware of the many ways in which the working world wasn't working for women. After starting her career in management consulting, Catherine spent

her time in business school researching how to negotiate specifically as a woman. That work is the

foundation of her research-based approach to women's leadership development. A top-rated speaker,

her clients include multinational organizations such as J.P. Morgan,

KPMG, and TIAA. And her work has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street

Journal, Forbes, and Fast Company. In this episode, Catherine and I are talking about all of the

reasons you should negotiate, and though well-intentioned, all of the advice to negotiate like a man,

why that's more harmful than helpful. We also break down the strategies you can use to advocate for yourself in the workplace

and talk through all of the things you can negotiate. And there is a list of all of the things

you can negotiate outside of just your base salary. We had a blast in this conversation.
