Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin · How to Get the Raise You Deserve with Claire Wasserman · 27 Jan 2025 podcast

Thank you. Also, I think a lot of people get frustrated because they say, well, I intellectually know better, but I'm not doing better. It's almost more frustrating when you can see you're aware, but you don't know how to make the change. It's like ignorance is bliss exists as a cliche for a reason. Just know, start with the triggers.

Like just what happens to trigger that behavior and really focus on being kinder to yourself in that moment and taking a pause over time. That's the muscle that you build. So- That's always my first step that I give people because I have a lot of folks come to me and go, oh, but I have the awareness. And it's almost like more excruciating now.

I know. I was like, I think I know when you're going to have your baby because that's what I'm filling in, which, again, is so smart. See, this was a solution. You think to yourself, oh, I can't do my job or I have to take time off. But I bet some amazing things are going to come out of all of these guest hosts. We're all going to cross pollinate audiences and get to experiment.

And so it really illustrates the point that when something is difficult, there is absolutely a way to make a really exciting thing come out of it. What are you excited about bringing to the audience? I've just launched a new program.

I coach women through all kinds of challenges at work, but a lot of times the barriers that they're facing, it's really their internalized patriarchy, for lack of a better word, right? You can't ask for more money if you don't believe you're worthy of it. I mean, you can, but are you gonna stand your ground? Are you gonna be the most compelling version of yourself?

So I'm starting to work with women in a very structured way to just quiet the inner critic Have accountability to doing that and really experiment with different techniques and, you know, to come up with a practice for yourself that makes it so that when you are having a struggle, whether it's with money, your job or whatever, you're like always able to come back to yourself.

I think that's the key to unlocking whatever you want in your life. It's the foundation of the house. Kind of jump to like the house part, which was let's get more money. But hold on. Let's make sure you feel okay first. So I'm really excited about that. And then my podcast, Ladies Get Paid, which is my, as I joke, wannabe Esther Perel. I coach women who are really brave.

Because we don't have time to not be real. I know I'm very gleeful about this. Listen, Oprah, I'm sure, is saying the same thing. Like, it is a success if the person is crying. Because, like, everybody emails me the same email after they come to my event or listen to my stuff. I thought I was the only one.

I'm like, there have been three million messages exchanged in my Slack group that I can see you are not the only one. So if we can just get people to be very transparent about the thing they're struggling with, that almost is the first step to like, I don't have shame about this. All right, we can figure it out.

You gotta love the shit out of her. I don't know if I'm allowed to curse, but that's actually the key, is you have to have an awesome relationship with the mean ones. versus fighting them, because they'll win.

Yeah. They're just trying to help you out, but they didn't know how to do it, because they formed at a young age. So you go, I'm really curious to learn about you, and I want to thank you. Yeah, it has to all be about compassion and curiosity. It doesn't mean you have to like the behavior, but you have to love the child inside that's doing that to you. I mean, they're throwing a tantrum.

Now that I have kids, I see lots of analogies there.

Yeah, yeah. I think one tip to take away to the bank is if you don't ask, 100% guaranteed that you won't get. You literally have nothing to lose to ask except for a lot of money. I should mention people will go, will I lose the opportunity? It rarely happens. And do you want to work there anyway? which is a privileged response on my part.

This is why always have a safety net, whether it's savings, side hustles, networking, other offers, be prepared to walk away. I mean, those make the strongest negotiators the ones who can say no. It's so scary though. It is scary. But again, how do we grow if not by doing the scary things? I mean, to me, it's unfortunate, but it's always through the suffering that we gain the most wisdom.

And it's always through the hard stuff that we're like, I actually feel really proud of myself. This is an opportunity to feel really good. I keep saying that, but I've seen it over and over again. It's not a think positive silver lining bullshit. Like I have genuinely seen women and also feedback from male bosses going, This person is dynamic. They came in and they did it this way.

Like, you look good doing that. But again, practice. You have to practice it because it won't necessarily be natural to you.

Do we have a shirt for that?
