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.

Balancing Ambition and Inner Peace: A Conversation with Buddhist Teacher Billy Seol
This year, I'm turning Buddhist, meditating with a sangha (a community of Buddhist practitioners), bowing in the morning, and taking lessons from Buddhist teachers.
This happened because I started reading Billy Seol's Substack (https://substack.com/@julylifecoach), which he writes every single day (impressive!)
I've come to consider Billy as a kind of spiritual god brother.
In this deep dive into the intersection of Buddhism, coaching, and personal growth, Billy takes us through his journey of:
- Early experiences with depression
- Career in tech companies (Apple, Disney)
- Searching for a comprehensive approach to understanding life and ending suffering
- Embracing Buddhism as a practical life approach
And we have a brainy debate about applying Buddhist principles to real-life workplace challenges for women and people of marginalized identities:
- Dealing with discrimination and marginalization
- Finding agency under challenging situations
- Doing hard things on purpose as a path to growth
