Never Settle: How Busy Moms Can Negotiate for More Time, Support, and Balance
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you hear the word negotiation, you probably think about salary discussions or business deals.
But what if I told you that you're negotiating dozens of times every single day?
From asking your spouse to help with dinner, to dividing household responsibilities, setting boundaries at work, or saying no without guilt—negotiation is happening constantly. And learning how to do it well can completely change your life.
In this episode, I'm joined by negotiation and influence expert Attia Qureshi, former MIT faculty member, University of Michigan professor, and author of Never Settle. Attia shares simple, practical strategies that help busy moms advocate for themselves without creating conflict or damaging relationships.
We discuss:
- Why negotiation isn't just for the boardroom
- The everyday negotiations moms don't even realize they're having
- A simple phrase that makes it easier to ask for help at home
- Why saying "just ask for what you want" often doesn't work for women
- How to negotiate for more support, time, and balance
- The hidden negotiation happening inside your own mind
- Practical ways to set boundaries without guilt
- How practicing negotiation in small moments prepares you for the big ones
If you've ever found yourself saying, "It's just easier if I do it myself," this episode is for you.
