Risky Conversations with Jamie Lee
Everything that's rewarding is on the other side of a Risky Conversation.
In this podcast for professional women, we have honest talks about topics often considered taboo or "too risky" at work -- salary negotiation, mental and reproductive health, office politics, social injustices, and unconventional ways smart women navigate their path forward despite a flawed and sexist society.
Join me as we dive deeper into these risky yet rewarding conversations, embracing the growth they bring.

Thank you for today's podcast. The election results are heartbreaking, particularly with how hateful the rhetoric was at the end. But it is heartening to hear from other women who understand what this loss means to us as women. So thanks very much for offering this balm and thoughts for the future.
