Ever walked into a pay rise conversation, only to feel your brain switch off and your confidence evaporate faster than your lunch break? You’re not alone. In this episode, Sophie sits down with salary negotiation powerhouse Meggie Palmer to unpack how to prep, practise, and push through those oh-so-awkward money chats. From knowing your “wish, want, walk” numbers, to mastering the art of silence, Meggie shares practical scripts, confidence tricks, and even a “fake tunnel drop-out” hack you’ll want to keep in your back pocket. We also tackle why women are conditioned to feel icky about asking for more, and how to rewire that mindset. Spoiler: you’re adding value - time to own it.
