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.

Harmonizing Fitness and the Female Cycle: A Conversation with Lizzy Palmer
Did you know that a survey of over 4,100 young men from Brazil, Indonesia, the Netherlands, and Uganda revealed that menstruation is still considered taboo around the world? In fact, many associate periods with words like ‘dirty,’ ‘embarrassing,’ and ‘disgusting.’ This deep-seated stigma is something women and girls are taught to internalize, making us feel shame around a natural biological process.
But today, we’re changing that narrative.
Welcome to Risky Conversations. I’m Jamie Lee, a certified integrative hypnotist and executive coach, and I work with women to help them achieve career growth, even when they’re the only one—or one of the few—in the room.
In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Lizzy Palmer, Founder and CEO of Sync N, a fitness app designed specifically for women’s menstrual cycles. We dive into
- The challenges of talking about periods, uteruses, and hormonal fluctuations without them becoming punchlines in male-dominated spaces.
- We also explore the risky conversations Lizzy has taken as an entrepreneur
- The value of asserting your desires (even if it means being labeled unlikable as a woman leader)
- And the health benefits of adapting both your fitness and work schedules to your cycle.
