    Drop the Impost-Her: Get Paid, Not Played with Lynda Harvey

    Season 3 opens with a hard reset. In this episode, Lauren sits down with Lynda Harvey (aka @Lynda.Leads) to dismantle one of the most persistent, and profitable, patterns in corporate life: imposter syndrome. Not as a personal flaw, but as a systemic conditioning tool designed to keep high-performing women compliant, underpaid, and constantly self-questioning. This conversation sets the tone for the season: clear eyes, clean boundaries, and new rules. In this episode, we cover:Why imposter syndrome isn’t a diagnosis, it’s a learned responseHow women are conditioned to equate humility with worth and likability with safetyThe hidden cost of “being grateful” instead of being compensatedWhy lightning does strike twice and what makes us pretend it doesn’tThe difference between what you deserve and what you’ve earnedHow corporate systems quietly reward self-abandonmentWhy settling “temporarily” often becomes a long-term identity taxNaming the voice at the boardroom table of your mind—and asking it to leaveHow to turn imposter syndrome into usable data instead of self-sabotage Who this episode is for:Powerhouse women navigating leadership, promotion, or reinventionCorporate leaders questioning whether the system still fitsWomen who know they’re capable but still find themselves negotiating against themselvesAnyone ready to stop performing gratitude and start claiming leverage About the Guest:Lynda Harvey, known online as Lynda Leads, has built and scaled high-performing teams, led cross-functional decision-making at the executive level, and built a platform rooted in corporate truth, not corporate fantasy. Her work centers on self-advocacy, compensation, boundaries, and the reminder that your company is not your family, it’s a business.

Surround yourself with people who expand your timeline, challenge your thinking, and support your evolution.You are radically responsible for your results. Shift your perspective, adjust your decisions and if you need support, ask for it.Choosing what’s best for you is what’s best for everyone.

  3. The Economics of Power: Time, Money & the Lies Women Were Sold with Dr. Corinne Low

    12/04/2025

    The Economics of Power: Time, Money & the Lies Women Were Sold with Dr. Corinne Low

    This week, economist and Wharton professor Dr. Corinne Low hands us the data-backed truth about why powerhouse women feel overextended, under-supported, and blamed for systems they didn’t design. We break down two game-changing concepts: • Utility FunctionYour utility function is the economist’s version of your life scorecard, the sum total of joy, meaning, fulfillment, and alignment across your lifetime. Not your boss’s profit. Not comparison culture. Not the invisible rules handed to women. You’re maximizing your utility, not the company’s. • Your Job as TechnologyYour job is simply a tool that converts time → money. Once you see it as technology, not identity, you unlock the power to redesign your career around better ROI, more time freedom, and the life Future You actually wants to live. We also hit the hard truths: unpaid labor, sexual harassment as an economic crime, why even top-performing women earn less, and why “leaning in” was never the solution. If you’re ready to reclaim your levers, time, money, agency, this conversation is a reset. Share this episode with a powerhouse woman who needs the reminder: she’s not broken. The system is.

    The Millennial Manager Rewrite: How Powerhouse Women Rise in a Broken Workplace with Roxy Couse Today on Corporate F*ckery, Lauren sits down with Roxy Couse, Webby-nominated creator, senior corporate leader, and the internet’s trusted “Millennial Manager,” to unpack what it really takes for powerhouse women to rise inside a workplace that’s more unstable, emotionally taxing, and psychologically confusing than ever. With more than half a million professionals tuning into her boundary-setting guidance and corporate hard truths, Roxy breaks down the new rules of modern work: the PIE Method no one teaches you, why performance is only 10% of promotability, and how personal branding has quietly become the most strategic lever women have to separate their identity from their job. Together, we dive into: - How the workplace broke and why millennial managers are rewriting it in real time - The unseen emotional toll of layoffs, unstable leadership, and nervous-system overload - The PIE Method (performance, image, exposure) and why powerhouse women must play differently - Why building a personal brand is the individuator that helps women rise without self-abandonment - How generational trauma and early conditioning show up in executive behavior - What it actually looks like to position yourself for the next level without doing more Lauren ties it all together through subconscious reprogramming, emotional clarity, and identity work, giving powerhouse women the tools to stop checking boxes and start positioning themselves as the leaders they already are. Power Takeaways The workplace is changing and millennial managers are leading the rewrite.Personal branding isn’t optional; it’s leverage, clarity, and protection.You can have your PIE and eat it too when you understand how power actually works.Your next level requires identity expansion, not more output.

This episode is a must-listen for any powerhouse woman navigating toxic workplaces, identity shifts, leadership pressure, or the weight of doing it all. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re the problem (you’re not), whether you’re allowed to slow down (you are), or whether using your agency actually matters (it does, more than you think)… Raena will give you the words, the perspective, and the permission to take your power back.
