On today’s episode, Ysenia is joined by Tabitha Calhoun, a DEI leader and pay equity expert, to talk about the gender pay gap. If you’ve ever felt like there’s an invisible force working against you at work… you’re not crazy.

We break down what the gender pay gap actually means, why women still make roughly 82 cents on the dollar (and significantly less for many women of color), and how unpaid labor and intersectionality compound the gap over a lifetime.

We also get practical:

• What questions to ask employers about compensation and promotion pathways
• Why tying pay to previous salary perpetuates inequity
• How state legislation shapes pay transparency
• How to advocate for yourself inside systems that weren’t built with women in mind

This episode is about understanding the system — so you can navigate your paycheck, promotions, and retirement with more clarity and confidence.
