This week on the Simply Authentic podcast, we sit down with the incredible Alison Fragale — research psychologist, award-winning professor, international keynote speaker, and author of Likeable Badass. We first met Alison at the Ladies Who Launch event earlier this year, and her message resonated with us so strongly that we knew we had to bring her to the Back Porch.

Alison brings a rare blend of warmth, clarity, and scientific insight. She is genuinely driven to help people — especially women — understand, claim, and use their power with confidence and authenticity. In this episode, she breaks down the psychology behind status, influence, and leadership in a way that is both practical and immediately actionable.

Key Takeaways Include:

  • How to gain status and power without compromising who you are
  • Mastering the art and science of negotiation
  • Strategies for influencing without authority
  • Navigating conversations about pay, promotions, and career advancement
  • Leading from where you are, no matter your title
  • How to build a powerhouse network that opens doors
  • Cultivating a strong, authentic personal brand

Whether you're looking to advance your career, elevate your leadership, or simply show up more powerfully in everyday situations, this conversation with Alison will inspire you — and give you the tools to do it.
