The Rest Is Politics: US · The Secret To Asking For A Pay Raise (Mika Brzezinski) · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

And so I realized way back then that

I had done it again.

I had signed a contract too soon.

I had lurched for stability as opposed to waiting for the moment to be right because it was my moment to ask for more and I missed it.

And so I thought, my gosh, if I can't do this,

I grew up with multilingual parents who came here as refugees.

One became the National Security Advisor of the United States of America, and the other became a globally renowned sculptor, artist, who makes pieces that are two to three stories high and several tons.

I love your mom's work.

My mom worked with a chainsaw on her art.

She's so cool.

What is it about me that I can't

do my job fully, which includes the part of taking care of myself.

And so I set out to find out more about this.

And when I wrote that first book, you wouldn't believe.

I had the former chair of the FDIC.

I interviewed women from the highest heights in every industry, and they all struggled with it.

And I realized I was really tapping into something that was quite universal across all ages, stages, places in life, women who have made it despite themselves, women who can't get in the door.

This book was for everyone and still is.

And I did it because I wanted to figure it out for myself and I wanted to pay it forward for other women because once I did figure it out,

I was like, my God, these are simple techniques that take confidence to put these skills into play.
