How will the various abortion bans across the U.S. affect HR policies? When Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, federal protections on abortion ceased, and states were suddenly free to make independent decisions about this essential healthcare issue. The new laws range from full allowance to complete bans and criminal charges for those who circumvent them. So how are employers and HR teams navigating the impacts of this change, and how are employees across the country reacting when it comes to travel and job change considerations?The consequences of how these new laws impact women and their careers—both in states with bans and those without—can’t be overstated. In this episode, I examine some of the policies being discussed in regard to women’s rights and safety and how these laws are impacting both organizations and employees.Find out how abortion ban HR policies are affecting our career decisions:Why announcing abortion travel accommodations is a questionable corporate decision;How companies might begin to develop truly beneficial travel policies;The impact of abortion bans on the entertainment and events industry;Survey says: recruitment is likely to feel the impacts of these shifting laws.Related Links:SHRM: Companies Are Announcing Abortion-Travel Benefits Following Dobbs Decision - https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/benefits-compensation/employers-prepare-benefits-policy-responses-to-abortion-ruling-shrm-survey-findsSHRM: Companies Announcing Abortion Travel Benefits Following Dobbs Decision - https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/benefits-compensation/companies-announcing-abortion-travel-benefits-following-dobbs-decisionNorthstar: How the Events Industry Is Responding to State Abortion Bans - https://www.northstarmeetingsgroup.com/state-abortion-bans-could-drive-event-planners-cancelPerry Undem: What Does "Top Talent" Think About Working in States that Ban Abortion? - https://perryundem.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/PerryUndem-TX-Abortion-Law_Survey-Findings_0901.pdfResume Builder Sruvey - https://www.resumebuilder.com/one-third-of-job-seekers-wont-work-in-states-with-abortion-bans/Stop congratulating companies for making abortion a corporate 'perk' by Ali Griswold - https://oversharing.substack.com/p/stop-congratulating-companies-for  Episode 357, How to Talk About Abortion at Work - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode357TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

What individual, organizational, and policy changes will help us transform the daily grind into the good life? The conversation around work-life balance and women in the workplace can feel stalled. You might speak out and speak up about the problems and inequity you see every day, yet insufficient individual solutions remain the most common recommendations.

How do you navigate grief in the workplace in an empathic and supportive way? We all experience loss, and we might default to assuming the only place for grief is in the home. The truth is that a loss permeates every aspect of our lives, sometimes for years or even decades, and it certainly crosses into the workplace. Krista St-Germain experienced a devastating loss in 2016 when her husband was killed by an impaired driver. That trauma propelled her into grief, then therapy, then research. Today, she is the founder of the Mom Goes On group coaching program and the host of the Widowed Mom podcast. She shares her hard-won wisdom on what we need to know about grief and how to navigate it in the workplace, both for ourselves and in support of others.Question your assumptions about grief and learn to better support yourself or others who are navigating it, including:How we’ve come to misunderstand the grieving process;The role time plays when we are healing from a loss;How to navigate interactions with grieving coworkers;The possibilities of life beyond grieving and post-traumatic growth.Related Links:Learn more about Krista’s work - https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/Follow Krista on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lifecoachkrista/Connect with Krista on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/coachingwithkristaThe Widowed Mom Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-widowed-mom-podcast/id1468127632The Grieving Brain by Mary-Frances O’Connor - https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-grieving-brain-the-surprising-science-of-how-we-learn-from-love-and-loss-mary-frances-o-connor/16976128?ean=9780062946249Report from the Death Studies Journal on the Dual Process Model - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10848151/Brené Brown - Silver Linings Clip - https://brenebrown.com/videos/rsa-short-empathy/On Death & Dying: What the Dying Have to Teach Doctors, Nurses, Clergy & Their Own Families by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross - https://bookshop.org/p/books/on-death-dying-what-the-dying-have-to-teach-doctors-nurses-clergy-their-own-families-elisabeth-kubler-ross/9165298?ean=9781476775548On Grief & Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross - https://bookshop.org/p/books/on-grief-grieving-finding-the-meaning-of-grief-through-the-five-stages-of-loss-david-kessler/6699869?ean=9781476775555Episode 468: Disrupting Elder Care: We Need To Talk More About Working Daughters - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode468LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/Follow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/emiliearies

The last week’s historic political events warrant a totally new, unscripted episode. On July 21st, the news that President Biden would no longer pursue re-election and would endorse Vice President Kamala Harris left me excited and energized for the future, feelings that only grew as I spoke with so many women in the week following the announcement.

How do you manage a complex pregnancy while continuing to manage your career? Pregnancy can be complicated, and people who experienced prior reproductive challenges often anxiously wonder just how similar their next experience will be.

This was the perfect time to talk with Dr. Nathan Fox about the premise of his new book, and how to manage pregnancy expectations and assertively communicate with both physicians and superiors in the workplace during this time.Dive into this discussion by learning more about:Embracing a joint decision-making approach to medicine that honors both doctor and patient expertise;Identifying the best OB/GYN for your unique health situation;Understanding the risk of recurrence of pregnancy complications;And advocating for your rights as a pregnant person in the workplace.Related Links:Episode 438, The Impact of Stress Reduction on Infertility - https://bossedup.org/podcast/episode438Episode 414, New Rights for Pregnant Workers  - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode414Episode 346, How to Advocate for a Better Work-Life Balance as a Working Parent - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode346Episode 311, How To Talk About Marital Status, Parental Status, And Pregnancy In The Interview - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode311Discover more about Nathan’s Podcast - https://healthfulwoman.comLearn more about Nathan’s practice - https://www.mfmnyc.com/team/nathan-fox/Buy “The Unexpected: Navigating Pregnancy During and After Complications by Emily Oster and Dr. Nathan Fox - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/717163/the-unexpected-by-emily-oster-and-nathan-fox-md/Expecting Better by Emily Oster - https://bookshop.org/p/books/expecting-better-why-the-conventional-pregnancy-wisdom-is-wrong-and-what-you-really-need-to-know-emily-oster/15735353?ean=9780143125709Bossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

In our modern world, where isolation, loneliness, and stress are at all-time highs, how do we fend off the feelings—and the medical symptoms—that plague such an outsized percentage of our species?Journalist Julia Hotz’s new book, The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging, explores the phenomenon of social prescribing, a medicine-adjacent approach being adopted in the UK that sees doctors prescribing things like “sea swimming” (yes, really!) and has the potential to alleviate not only the health burdens many of us face in our daily lives but also the pressures on the medical system and the heavy costs of medical care. In this episode, I talk with Julia about what inspired her to write The Connection Cure and the incredible and surprising results of her extensive research. Discover how social prescribing could take you from asking, “what’s wrong with me?” to “what matters to me?” instead:Defining and demystifying the concept of social prescribing;How reconnecting with how we used to live can drastically improve our health;Where our deep-seated misconceptions about mental health come from;Whether social prescribing stands a chance of taking hold in the U.S.Related Links:Order Julia’s book - https://www.socialprescribing.co/Find Julia on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hotzthoughts/Episode 172, The Healing Power of Nature - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode172Episode 440 - The Problem with Self-Help - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode440Bossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative by Florence Williams - https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-nature-fix-why-nature-makes-us-happier-healthier-and-more-creative-florence-williams/16616779?ean=9780393355574How to take the news that depression has not been shown to be caused by a chemical imbalance by Dr. Joanna Moncrieff - https://joannamoncrieff.com/2022/07/24/how-to-take-the-news-that-depression-has-not-been-shown-to-be-caused-by-a-chemical-imbalance/Dopesick by Beth Macy - https://bookshop.org/p/books/dopesick-dealers-doctors-and-the-drug-company-that-addicted-america-beth-macy/16344771?ean=9780316551304

Add to that, it’s taking many months or even a full year these days to land a job. All this highlights the need to build sustainability into your search.Two weeks back, I covered how to create a sustainable job search plan when you’re also working full-time.

How has our patriarchal society structured your thoughts and how can you take them back? If you’ve always considered “reprogramming your brain” to be mystical mumbo jumbo, this guest might just change your mind. I certainly had to adjust my preconceived notions when I read Kara Loewentheil‘s new book, Take Back Your Brain: How a Sexist Society Gets in Your Head and How to Get It Out.Kara and I talk about the insidious nature of our patriarchal society and the impact of that socialization on our brains.

We’re in the midst of unprecedented times, where corporations prioritize short-term profits over the long-term health of their organizations, clients, and employees. Wage and wealth gaps grow ever-larger, and a few billionaires hoard an obscene amount of money while more and more people struggle just to get by. The upcoming book Fair Shake: Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy, which my guest June Carbone co-authored with Naomi Cahn and Nancy Levit, explores the history, politics, and legality of how we got to where we are today, the impact this system has on women and the quest for gender equality, and the efforts being made to reverse these trends. Explore what past and present corporate research can teach us about where we’re headed:Where did our winner-take-all economy come from?How does this profits-first, people-last approach impact women?What is the triple bind befalling women leaders today?How do we start rebuilding a positive-sum economic culture of collectivism?Related Links:Pre-order ‘Fair Shake: Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy’ - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/fair-shake-naomi-cahn/1141652296?ean=9781982115128Banks with More Women on Their Boards Commit Less Fraud - https://hbr.org/2021/05/banks-with-more-women-on-their-boards-commit-less-fraudThe Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change to AdoptListing Rules Related to Board Diversity - https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nasdaq-2020-081/srnasdaq2020081-8186013-227180.pdfConnect with June online - https://law.umn.edu/profiles/june-carboneEpisode 440: The Problem with Self-Help - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode440Episode 444: Are Pay Transparency Laws Working? - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode444Take Action with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

We all have our ideal working conditions. We might love working from home, enjoy a couple of sociable days in the office each week, or crave the daily ritual of a peaceful commute. Whatever your personal preference, the recent trend in many sectors to force a return to the office has raised a lot of concerns.In this episode, I dig into the statistics and history of the WFH-to-RTO saga and its weighty impact on employees—in particular, how the move away from flexible work options may have a disproportionate effect on working mothers.We’ll break down the latest data and explain how we got here:Why the “she-cession” was followed by an influx of moms re-entering the workforce;The stats that back up the nation’s feelings on flexible work;How changing mandates are affecting job seekers;The systemic causes that got us to where we are today.Related Links:Wall Street Journal essay - https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/return-to-the-office-mandates-are-a-disaster-for-working-mothers-bf57a071Time magazine article - https://time.com/6251465/return-to-office-working-moms-pandemic/University of Chicago research - https://bfi.uchicago.edu/working-paper/time-savings-when-working-from-home/Bankrate article on the effects of return-to-office mandates - https://www.bankrate.com/personal-finance/return-to-office-mandates-effects-on-working-mothers/Take Action with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

Resiliency is an important trait for any leader, but the systemic barriers that underrepresented professionals face, on top of persisting gender and racial gaps, make this skill even more vital.

Whether an organization’s teams are centered in a single city or dispersed across the world, cultural differences inevitably emerge. For leaders accustomed to knowing the answers and acting on their singular understanding of situations, it can be difficult to recognize these differences, much less level up the listening skills needed to address them for the good of their organization.For more than 10 years, Hawa Kombian has worked within and alongside companies in Canada, Ghana, and more, using her expertise in cross-cultural competency and communication to help her clients achieve operational sustainability and social vibrancy through customized results-driven cultures of connection.

How many meeting invites do you get each week? If your company is like many American organizations, it’s probably too many. Recent research shows that 70% of all company meetings are keeping teams from completing their tasks. On top of that, a Harvard Business Review article reports that “Ineffective meetings that waste our time can negatively impact psychological, physical, and mental well-being.” Yikes! In this episode, I share three steps that can help reduce meeting overwhelm. There’s no doubt that declining a meeting is easier said than done. Company culture and concern for professional relationships can make it anxiety-inducing to even consider clicking anything but that little “yes” box on a meeting invitation. But taking the plunge and beginning to question—and even turn down—unnecessary meetings can make a huge difference in your company as a whole.Navigate the meeting acceptance minefield professionally by learning:What the research says about our inefficient attachment to meetings;Why it’s okay to ask for more information;How and when to decline delicately;How to put meeting reduction into practice with your team.Related Links:Harvard Business Review article, “Dear Manager, You’re Holding Too Many Meetings” - https://hbr.org/2022/03/dear-manager-youre-holding-too-many-meetingsThe Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters by Priya Parker - https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-art-of-gathering-how-we-meet-and-why-it-matters-priya-parker/588739?ean=9781594634932My LinkedIn course, “Asserting Yourself: An Empowered Choice - https://www.linkedin.com/learning/asserting-yourself-an-empowered-choice/why-being-assertive-mattersBossed Up Accelerator - Level Up - https://www.bossedup.org/levelup  Bossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

Pay transparency is one of our policy priorities at Bossed Up, and in this episode, I speak with a scholar who studies the subject: Zoë Cullen. An assistant professor of entrepreneurial management at Harvard Business School, Zoë has spent the last decade studying gender gaps within the workforce, and most recently has focused on the effects of pay transparency laws. Her research reveals a lot of interesting information about what pay transparency means for individual workers, career motivation, and hiring practices. Zoë’s practical explanations of the data help put this groundbreaking policy into perspective. Find out what the numbers say about how pay transparency is playing out in the real world:Which information frictions and taboos stand in the way;The surprising effect of learning what your boss makes;How pay transparency affects powerhouse negotiators in the workplace;And even the potential downsides to pay transparency for worker’s wages.Related Links:Connect with Zoë - https://zcullen.github.io/Read Zoë’s article, “Is Pay Transparency Good?” - https://zcullen.github.io/assets/docs/JEP%20Is%20Pay%20Transparency%20Good.pdfRead Zoë’s article, “Equilibrium Effects Of Pay Transparency” - https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w28903/w28903.pdfEqual Pay for Equal Work Act - https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb19-085Episode 319, “How To Talk Money With Your Friends and Family and Why It’s Critically Important That You Do” - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode319Episode 146 “Step-By-Step Negotiation Prep” https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode146Salary Insights Guide - https://www.bossedup.org/negotiation#salaryinsightsBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

When you need a reference, what’s the first thing you do? Almost everyone looking for a new job will need a reference or two, and a former employer is the most common choice.

What’s the last self-help book you read? These days, whatever life change you’re hoping for, there’s a self-help guru and their associated memoir eager to explain how they did it and you can too. The problem is that most of these books are written by the people for whom our capitalist society was built.In this episode, I speak with Sharon Podobnik, a seasoned executive leadership coach and former self-help fiend whose questioning of the industry led her to write her new book, It’s Not (All) Your Fault: Self-Help and the Individualization of Oppression.

What do you do if a job offer comes in with a low-ball salary? In this episode, I dig into a topic inspired by a listener's email that echoes the experiences of many job seekers. The thrill of a job offer in your inbox can be quickly curtailed by a proposed salary that doesn’t even hit the bottom of your range. The let-down stems from a combination of systemic issues around hiring, genuine frustration and stress, and possibly some unrealistic expectations.I explain what’s going on behind the scenes in these scenarios and what you can do to set yourself up for job search and salary negotiation success.Press play to discover insights that cast job hunting in a new light, including:Why there’s an extended timeline on job searching todayWhat’s happening behind the hiring curtain with supply and demandWhen in the process you’re at the peak of your negotiating powerHow you can be a part of the change to greater salary transparencyRelated Links:Randstad Survey - https://swnsdigital.com/us/2018/10/it-takes-5-months-of-searching-to-land-a-job-study-finds/ Bureau of Labor Statistics - https://www.bls.gov/Free Bossed Up Negotiation Guide - https://www.bossedup.org/negotiationLearn more about the fight for salary transparency - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionHired: my Job Search Accelerator - https://www.bossedup.org/gethiredMy job search resource hub - https://www.bossedup.org/free-resources/job-searchBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

Fear is weakness, as you may have been told, and the only way to get ahead in the world is to become fearless. But since that’s all but impossible, we wind up spending precious energy we could be putting toward our goals erecting a stone wall around our fears when, in fact, acknowledging and respecting our fears could help us flourish!In this episode, I speak with Farnoosh Torabi, a personal finance advisor, journalist, and author who explores fear and its role in our pursuit of success in her latest book, A Healthy State of Panic.

Raise your hand if being a mom and working away from home has you STRESSED! Most parents would agree: one of the biggest challenges you face in the early years is figuring out how to patch together childcare you can actually afford! Most parents in the U.S. have felt the impact of our poor childcare economy. Stiff competition for daycare entry, care coverage that doesn’t reflect the average work schedule, and costs that make it almost impossible for parents of littles to return to work at all are just a handful of the impossible choices working parents face.Meanwhile… businesses today are desperate for talent! So why aren’t we catering to an eager but largely untapped potential workforce: parents of young children? We need systemic change, and Nicole Riehl is making incredible strides in this arena. Her organization, EPIC, helps businesses address their teams’ childcare needs in a way that benefits their employees, companies, and the economy as a whole.Explore Nicole’s insights and the innovative solutions that are reshaping how businesses support working parents:The major economic impacts of the country’s inadequate childcare infrastructureWhy affordable, quality childcare is a business imperativeHow childcare improvements align with the future of modern communitiesRelated Links:EPIC’s website - https://www.coloradoepic.org/Nicole’s LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-riehl-ab46634/Nicole’s Twitter - https://twitter.com/theriehlnicoleNicole’s podcast, “The Dropoff” - https://www.coloradoepic.org/podcastGenXYZ 2023 - Top 25 Young Professionals - https://www.cobizmag.com/genxyz-2023-top-25-finalists/Denver Business Journal - Outstanding Women in Business Award -https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/2022/08/19/dbj-2022-outstanding-women-in-business-awards.htmlUS Chamber of Commerce Foundation - https://www.uschamberfoundation.org/Bipartisan Policy Center - https://bipartisanpolicy.org/Council for Strong America - https://www.strongnation.org/articles/2038-122-billion-the-growing-annual-cost-of-the-infant-toddler-child-care-crisisRoadmap with The ECE Employer Roadmap - US Chamber of Commerce Foundation - https://www.uschamberfoundation.org/education/ece-employer-roadmapLeadership Denver - https://denverleadership.org/leadershipdenver/Proposition EE - https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb23-1290Employer-Based Childcare Design Lab - https://www.coloradoepic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EPIC-Design-Labs-Flyer-4-28-22-FINAL.pdfAi-Jen Poo’s Care Fest - https://www.carefest.com/event/6b40797d-1bb7-403c-97ca-3ae437a3c87f/summaryTake Action - advocate for the policy reforms that drive gender equity at work, including access to affordable, quality care: www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

How does your career align with your values, and how do you even begin figuring that out? These are questions more of us have started asking this year, as we stop accepting career dissatisfaction and burnout as “just how it is” and re-evaluate our relationship to work.In this episode, I share an approach to career recalibration that has really resonated with me, one that places less of a focus on identifying your core values and more on identifying the tangible pieces that are and are not working for you now. Establishing realignment with your purpose is no easy feat, but these three steps will have you on your way to a more resonant relationship with every aspect of your life.Get ready to revel in radical acceptance as we walk through:The all-too-familiar circumstances that led me to a recalibration process that resonatesWhy so many of us are ready to start questioning the success status quoHow to analyze your life with the four root causes of burnoutAnd how to make small, manageable changes to reduce overwhelm in a big wayRelated Links:Downloadable Handout: 3 Steps for Recalibrating Your Career - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode431How to Set Clear Expectations as a Leader, Episode 265 - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode265The Top Struggles of High Achievers, Episode 421 - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode421My book, Bossed Up: A Grown Woman’s Guide to Getting Your Sh*T Together - https://bossedup.org/book Gallup Leadership Assessment - https://store.gallup.com/p/en-us/10108/top-5-cliftonstrengthsBossed Up’s Take Action page to bring about systemic change - http://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBrené Brown’s exercise on living into your values - https://brenebrown.com/resources/living-into-our-values/Level Up: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBook Emilie for a keynote or workshop - https://www.emiliearies.com/Bossed Up job search resources - https://www.bossedup.org/free-resources/job-searchBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/
