We’re taught to believe power lives outside us — in titles, promotions, or someone else’s approval. But the truth is, personal power never left us.
Through feminist coaching and neuroscience, we can reclaim the authority that’s been conditioned out of us. Power lives in how we breathe before we speak, how we choose rest over overwork, and how we decide we belong without waiting for permission.
Power isn’t something you earn.
It’s something you remember.
I read Women Don’t Ask … it changed my life. I realized when I was growing up in South Korea, it was common for women to haggle and bargain, so the concept of negotiating was natural. But in America, I saw most women were not comfortable negotiating for themselves.

You're done letting "no" (the pushback, all the hemming and hawing, and the excuses) hold you back.
You're ready to equip yourself with the best tools possible to get past impasse, so you make greater impact.
You did something miraculous and wondrous with your body.
You created a new life, a new consciousness. You went on maternity leave, which is your right.
If you’re coming back and realizing you’ll have more work on your plate, this is what it means…
Can we please talk about perimenopause?
Perimenopause is NOT a disease, not just hot flashes, and not something most doctors -- nor most workplaces -- understand.

To be born into patriarchy, or any society that systematically gives the upper hand to men, is to be conditioned to internalize the falsehood that there’s something inadequate in us.
ESPECIALLY when we dare ourselves to ask for more power and money.
My client Ann — a brilliant executive who works with a nearly all-male team of leaders — and I came up with this super fun and useful tool that you can try on for size.
It's called the Greta Gerwig Perspective.
