There's a number you already know. The raise you should have asked for two years ago. The rate you keep undercharging because saying the real one out loud feels too big for your mouth. The sentence you've rehearsed in the shower and never once said to your partner, your boss, or the client who's clearly getting more of you than they're paying for.

In this episode of The Ask, all four of us sit down with that number and the moment right before it gets said. Because here's the part almost nobody wants to admit: it's rarely rejection that stops a woman from asking. It's that she never opens her mouth in the first place. No one said no to her. She just never gave them the chance to.

In this episode, you'll hear us get into:

• Why the fear sitting underneath most negotiations has almost nothing to do with the number itself, and everything to do with a much older story
• A simple way to walk into any ask
• The difference between masculine and feminine energy at the table
• What it looks like from the other side of the table
• Why finding your real number matters more than ever saying it out loud to a single other person

If you've ever rehearsed the ask and never made it, this one's for you.
