🖤 Why “Ask Your Work Wife”?
Hey Work Wives, what’s with the name “Ask Your Work Wife”? I thought 'work wife' was a bad term? Aren’t y’all feminists?
🎙️ Ask Your Work Wife is a new podcast for ambitious professionals in Corporate America. Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Hi! We’re Vanessa & Holland, your Work Wives.
This is a totally different and incredibly underrated relationship, separate from your manager, mentor, champion, or even work bestie. We scour the ends of the earth to find actionable information and tactics that you need to get what you want out of Corporate America.
Let’s break it down even further:
Ask
Our episodes always lead with questions sent in by listeners/readers like you. We only focus on topics pertinent to the current corporate minefield and challenge outdated attitudes and advice. This isn’t your grandma’s playbook (even though she’s probably still a badass).
Your
We’re here for YOU, fully invested in your career growth and helping you navigate Corporate America to achieve your goals. While your manager or coworkers may support you, you aren't their top priority — they're watching from the sidelines. But we're in your corner, with no other agenda than ensuring you succeed and make the most of what Corporate America has to offer.
Work
...is just 25% of your life so you can spend the other 75% absolutely flourishing and doing whatever you want. We love thinking, talking, and scheming about how to optimize work and make it work for your lifestyle.
Wife
"Wife" is what we are to each other, essentially a partner! It’s an intimate dynamic where we lean on each other for support, so we can be your unconditional Work Wives.
Traditionally, work wife is a woman in a man’s work who’s his trusted confidante, but is not a colleague or an equal. She would be the one to gather information about competitors, to deploy soft skills to overcome obstacles for man’s progression, and generally make his work life seamless. Think Joan in Mad Men or Donna in Suits.
We’re that resource for you today! You get to be the man until that preconceived notion is irrelevant. We’re here to unlock the car and let you step into the driver’s seat of your life.
