296: Negotiating Life Through Travel
ART of Feminine NEGOTIATION
The world is often defined by boundaries—lines on a map, walls of a classroom, or the rigid structures of a corporate office. But for those who choose to step across those lines, the world reveals itself not as a series of borders, but as a vast, living classroom.

295: Negotiating Bully Culture
ART of Feminine NEGOTIATION
Bully culture doesn’t emerge overnight—it grows quietly, layer by layer, until it becomes woven into the very fabric of an organization. For many, it shows up as subtle intimidation, undermining comments, shifting goalposts, or a constant sense of walking on eggshells. For others, it’s more overt: public shaming, manipulative power plays, or leaders who confuse fear with effectiveness.

292: Negotiating Purpose And Profit: From An Autism Mom To Franchise Founder
ART of Feminine NEGOTIATION
Before titles, business plans, or franchising models, there is usually a moment of quiet reckoning—the point where something no longer feels sustainable, yet walking away feels impossible. For many parents navigating the world of autism services, that reckoning comes in the form of endless waitlists, unanswered calls, and the aching realization that the system was never designed with families in mind. For Nichole Daher, that moment became a turning point. What began as a mother’s fight for her child’s care evolved into a deeper negotiation with herself: Do I accept burnout and...

We’ve all experienced moments in negotiation where something feels “off”—where tensions rise, misunderstandings grow, or progress stalls for reasons we can’t quite name. Too often, we chalk it up to the other person’s behavior, circumstances beyond our control, or the simple belief that “it shouldn’t be this hard.” But what if the real barrier isn’t external at all? What if the hidden force sabotaging our success is something we’re blind to within ourselves? In today’s episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Kevin St. Clergy for a powerful and eye-opening...
