An Update

Thank you for rocking with us this past year. Until we meet again.

We’ve got a few episodes percolating so we’re bringing you last month’s bonus episode while we finish whipping them up. Enjoy! Everything you've heard about women is a lie. Ok, maybe not everything. For this bonus episode we're diving into two studies about women: The first is a study that came out last month on salary disparities based on gender and the “Women Don’t Negotiate” myth. The Second is on humans’ responses to stress, and how women often bypass the "fight or flight" response we've all heard so much about, and instead “tend & befriend.”
