Unmute Yourself
This podcast is about lifting the curtain on leadership, purpose, and the real stories behind people who dared to do things differently. We’ll talk about how they found their path, the struggles they faced, and how they built something that truly matters. These are everyday people doing extraordinary things, and I want you to know, you are capable of that too.

Season 2 Ep 16: Stop Negotiating Against Yourself with Kaitlynn Helm
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m joined by Kaitlynn Helm, a COO who challenges one of the most deeply rooted beliefs women carry: that we must feel worthy before we advocate for ourselves.
Kaitlynn shares how she learned, often the hard way, that waiting, overthinking, and self-doubt cost real money, real energy, and real well-being. We talk about negotiating against yourself, reframing “no” as information, and why burnout isn’t a badge of honor.
This conversation is about asking before you feel ready, lowering your tolerance for what no longer serves you, and building careers that don’t require chronic exhaustion as the entry fee.
