    Actionable Takeaways Every Episode

    I love listening to this podcast, especially when I'm in a work headspace at home! Every episode has actionable takeaways, big and small, that I can immediately apply to my career in HR. I especially enjoyed the episode on negotiating salary, as that is historically known as such a difficult and sensitive subject. However, the podcast broke down the conversation and made it less scary!

    I've got a girl crush on this podcast

    This podcast is so good. You might be thinking, "Ugh, a podcast about work? Really?" And I assure you, yes, really. If you want to level up as a female professional then I recommend you subscribe to the Career Contessa podcast and tune in each week. Talking about "work stuff" doesn't have to be boring, and this podcast is proof of that. I'm grateful to have found Career Contessa at the perfect time in my professional journey. Check it out and see for yourself. While you're at it, be sure to visit their website too!

    So honest, relatable and helpful!

    I really enjoy The Females because it talks about topics that are on my mind and I can relate to them, and know others are thinking the same and solving the same problem. In one episode they talked about how black women are prioritizing self care, and as a white woman who didn't grow up in the US but lives in the US, I find it so valuable when I have a chance to get other perspectives and understand the dynamics and different challenges black women face. There is also so much we as females have in common and I loved the conversation about setting boundaries. They gave tips about how to frame setting boundaries that show you love people, like telling them you need space, or empower then to self solve so you get a break, and this was really true and something I will start trying.

    Not your ordinary career podcast

    As someone who truly hates all business and career focused podcasts, I can say with 100% confidence that I have yet to hear an episode of the Femails that I don't like! They provide actual useful information that you can take and apply to your own life and career and make you feel less alone in the career struggles we all face as women! I am obsessed with this podcast!!
