101. How to Be the Boss of Yourself with...

Glennon Doyle and Audacy
About this episode

1. The inspiring pep talk Bozoma gives herself in the mirror – and why we might all want to start using it to rally ourselves.  

2. How to navigate the tightrope of corporate expectations for women: to be both self-assured and humble; both hard and soft. 

3. The revolutionary realization that you don’t have to be the savior of others – you can save yourself, too. 

4. How to know when to dig deep, and stay and fight for change – and when to stop digging and go – and the moment Bozoma knew it was time to leave Netflix.

5. Why our inability to forgive ourselves for wrong decisions keep us in bad situations – and how Boz’s “it’s not you, it’s me” philosophy can guide us out.
