What do you do when someone tells you your success has nothing to do with your talent — and everything to do with how you look?

In this episode of STANDOUT Cabo, Kristin Guillaume, Account Executive at The Loan Store, gets refreshingly honest about 23 years in the mortgage industry — the gender bias she faced, why she didn't report it, and what she'd tell her younger self now.

Kristin and Paige dig into the real stuff nobody talks about in this industry:

The comment a male colleague made repeatedly that stopped Kristin cold — and why it was anything but a compliment

Why women in this industry earn every single inch and still get told it's luck

The ops vs. sales divide and why alignment between the two is everything

People pleasing, saying no, and the boundary work that never really ends

Why giving first is the fastest way to get unstuck

What it actually looks like when women stop competing and start collaborating

This one is honest, warm, and the kind of conversation you don't usually get to hear in a professional setting.
