Own Your Worth, with Ashley Paré

This episode of Money Tales is all about how our self-worth can get deeply entangled in our work that we get so caught up in what we do for a living that we lose touch with who we are as an individual. Our guest this week is Ashley Paré. As an HR insider with access to tech’s most guarded secrets – C-suite dynamics, salary data, and negotiation playbooks – Ashley started her career fearlessly advocating for her worth. As she said, “I had bills, I was valuable, I had an education – why not ask?” But the higher Ashley climbed, the more the corporate world’s unwritten rules and fear of consequences weighed her down. When she finally made her “infamous ask” for a raise, channeling the bold moves she’d coached countless colleagues through, it backfired. Ashley’s boss wasn’t just saying no – he was angry she’d even asked. That moment sparked Ashley’s mission to help people reclaim that early fearlessness and master the art of negotiation.
