My salary situation at 'Morning Joe' wasn't right. I made five attempts to fix it, then realized I'd made the same mistake every time: I apologised for asking.

There's always more money to be made.

Donald Trump needs mental-health help.

Don't apologize for asking for what you deserve.

I'd been fired by CBS News in a semipublic way, and as the months went by, there was a perception that I was damaged goods.

A fundamental lesson on being fired: Never lie about it. People will know what you're saying is a cover-up for how you really feel - embarrassed, discouraged, and afraid.

Everyday I find myself reminding women around me to know their value. I also have to remind myself.
