I think women have a hard time not apologizing their way into negotiations. We tend to back in to these conversations in a self-deprecating and ultimately self-defeating way.

I've worked with Ed Bradley, Dan Rather and lots of different local news anchors.

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

I suffered from a mild case of postpartum depression after my second child and the physical challenge of maintaining an overnight shift at CBS, a marriage, and two in diapers made the symptoms worse and everyone in the house paid the price.

Women play into each other's weaknesses.

After being let go from CBS and looking for a year for work, I will never catch myself complaining about being too busy.

Don't apologize for asking for what you deserve.
