Gaby talks to workplace dynamics expert Amy Gallo, host of the Women at Work podcast, about what you need to prep for a negotiation and how to rewire your brain so you can stand your ground, get the money you deserve, and stop crying during conflict.

Then, Gaby interviews reporter Emily Vanderwerff about the tragic story of trans woman Isabel Fall who was bullied into a mental hospital because of a bad faith reading of a sci-fi story she wrote.
