We are often told that if we work harder, speak louder, and lean in further, the doors of opportunity will eventually swing open. But for many women, the reality is more complex.

The world is often defined by boundaries—lines on a map, walls of a classroom, or the rigid structures of a corporate office. But for those who choose to step across those lines, the world reveals itself not as a series of borders, but as a vast, living classroom. Joining us today are two extraordinary women who have collectively set foot on all seven continents, explored 88 countries, and crossed off every single one of the 50 U.S. states. Evelyn Kelly is a true polymath. With a Ph.D. from the University of Florida and a background spanning microbiology, English, and history, she is the author of 22 books, including deep dives into genetics and her beloved Armchair Adventures series.

With a 35-year career that includes being the youngest female staff director in the Florida Senate and running her own PR and lobbying firm, she knows exactly what it takes to navigate high-stakes environments. In this special episode, we explore the intersection of two seemingly different worlds: the high-stakes arena of negotiation and the transformative power of global travel. In this conversation, we'll navigate: Negotiation or life lessons you can pick up while traveling. How travelling can help build confidence and negotiation skills in your daily lives. Strategies to build trust and connection. How toreframe travel as a form of lifelong learning and empowerment?

Bully culture doesn't emerge overnight—it grows quietly, layer by layer, until it becomes woven into the very fabric of an organization. For many, it shows up as subtle intimidation, undermining comments, shifting goalposts, or a constant sense of walking on eggshells. For others, it's more overt: public shaming, manipulative power plays, or leaders who confuse fear with effectiveness. In this episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Andrew Regal for an eye-opening conversation about Negotiating Bully Culture. With more than 30 years of leadership experience across major news and media platforms—including Court TV, CNBC, MSNBC, and The Wall Street Journal—Andrew brings a deep, insider perspective on high-pressure environments where bullying often becomes normalized. He's also the author of Surviving Bully Culture, a compelling and timely book that sheds light on how toxic dynamics take root and, more importantly, how we can navigate them with clarity, courage, and strategy. Join Cindy and Andrew as they explore how to recognize bully culture, why traditional approaches often fall short, and what negotiation tools can help individuals reclaim power, foster healthier communication, and shift entrenched systems from the inside out. In this episode, you will learn: The difference between a leader having a bad day and someone who's truly a bully. The reason behind why bullying is repeated across so many organizations and industries? The particular personality type that attracts bullies. The difficulty to identify these types of abuse. What is the most hurtful form of bullying? The long term impacts of bullying. And many more!

So many high-achieving women have mastered strategy, performance, and resilience—yet still feel disconnected from their power, caught in patterns that no longer serve them, or driven by identities they've outgrown. True feminine power doesn't come from doing more or pushing harder; it comes from clarity, self-leadership, and the ability to consciously choose how we show up in the world. In this powerful episode of The Art of Feminine Negotiation, Cindy Watson sits down with Riana Malia to explore Identity, Self-Leadership, and the Neuroscience Behind Feminine Power. Riana Malia is an Identity Architect for High-Achieving Women™, a sought-after speaker, and the visionary creator of the Clear to Create™ Method and Quantum Pattern Protocol™—two transformative frameworks that have helped hundreds of women clear emotional residue, rewire subconscious patterns, and reclaim the love, life, and legacy they were always meant to live. Named one of NY Weekly's Top 30 Empowering Women Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2025, Riana brings a unique blend of neuroscience, identity work, and feminine leadership to the conversation. Together, Cindy and Riana unpack how understanding who you truly are—and how your brain is wired—can radically shift the way you lead, negotiate, and show up in every area of your life. If you're ready to step into deeper self-leadership and harness the science-backed power of your feminine identity, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Together, we unpack: What are the identity levels? The connection between neuroscience, somatics, and feminine power and leadership? How does reframing our self view can change how we negotiate our best life, negotiate success, self-worth, and love. How does somatic and subconscious reprograming can fill the gap? 72 hour transformational process What is Extraordinary Love Index or ELI? And many more!

Before titles, business plans, or franchising models, there is usually a moment of quiet reckoning—the point where something no longer feels sustainable, yet walking away feels impossible. For many parents navigating the world of autism services, that reckoning comes in the form of endless waitlists, unanswered calls, and the aching realization that the system was never designed with families in mind. For Nichole Daher, that moment became a turning point. What began as a mother's fight for her child's care evolved into a deeper negotiation with herself: Do I accept burnout and barriers as the price of survival—or do I build something better? In this episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Nichole Daher for a powerful conversation on "Negotiating Purpose and Profit: From an Autism Mom to Franchise Founder." Nichole is the franchise founder purpose-driven professionals turn to when they're ready to stop grinding and start building something that truly matters. An autism mom with a background in healthcare, Nichole's journey began not in a boardroom, but in the heartbreak of endless waitlists and systemic barriers to care. Faced with the reality that families were being asked to wait far too long for critical support, she made a bold decision: if the system wasn't working, she would help create a better one. This is a story about courage, conscious entrepreneurship, and redefining success on your own terms. This episode dives into: What does that mindset represents, especially for women who may struggle with feeling "qualified enough"? What entrepreneurs missed about building resilience. How to succeed in franchising without a core? Why people are afraid to start their own business? The misconceptions about opening a medical business especially without a medical degree. How to negotiate with more courage? And many more!

Life has a way of bringing us to our knees—moments when everything we thought was solid falls away, and the path forward feels uncertain or even impossible. Yet it is often in those lowest moments that a quieter, deeper power begins to emerge. A power rooted not in control or dominance, but in persistence, compassion, and the courage to choose oneself again. In this powerful episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Dr. Patricia V. Smith for a deeply moving conversation titled "From Rock Bottom to Resilience: The Feminine Power of Negotiating Your Life Back." Dr. Smith, author of I Persist, is a passionate advocate for mental health and women's empowerment, and she brings both wisdom and lived experience to this discussion. This conversation is an invitation to explore what it truly means to negotiate your life back after rock bottom—to reclaim your voice, your worth, and your future. It is about resilience as a feminine strength, and the transformative choice to rise, not by force, but by honoring your inner wisdom and refusing to give up on yourself. During this episode, we unpack: The power of hope. How hope can be use as a negotiation strategy? How feminine traits can create better outcomes? The role inner negotiation plays in changing your mindset. What is social awareness? And many more!

We've all experienced moments in negotiation where something feels "off"—where tensions rise, misunderstandings grow, or progress stalls for reasons we can't quite name. Too often, we chalk it up to the other person's behavior, circumstances beyond our control, or the simple belief that "it shouldn't be this hard." But what if the real barrier isn't external at all? What if the hidden force sabotaging our success is something we're blind to within ourselves? In today's episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Kevin St. Clergy for a powerful and eye-opening conversation on Blind Blaming: The Hidden Saboteur in Negotiations. Kevin is a renowned breakthrough specialist, author, podcast host, keynote speaker, and the creator of the Blind Blaming Framework—a transformative approach that reveals how unseen narratives and unconscious patterns can derail even our best negotiation efforts. Together, Cindy and Kevin explore how recognizing and dismantling blind blaming can shift your outcomes, elevate your relationships, and empower you to negotiate with greater clarity and intention. In this episode, you will discover: What is blind blaming and how do we come to identify it as a recurring pattern? What is supportive sabotage? How people misdiagnosed the issue of blind blaming Examples of blind blaming Growth vs fix mindset What is the RCD method (reflect, connect, decide) The ACT Formula And many more!

In a world where the health care system often feels stretched to its limits, the voices of those who dedicate their lives to healing others can too easily go unheard. Yet behind every mask and every pair of scrubs lies a human story — of compassion, resilience, and often, quiet exhaustion.

Before we can negotiate with others, we must first learn to negotiate with ourselves — to balance our inner voices, our fears, and our dreams. Imagine if children were taught early on to recognize their emotions, to pause before reacting, and to choose compassion over self-criticism. How different might their futures be? In a world that often rushes them to grow up too fast, teaching children to understand and value themselves may be one of the most powerful life lessons we can offer. In this episode, Cindy Watson sits down with the inspiring Armida Espinoza to explore “Teaching Our Children To Negotiate With Themselves.” Armida, a first-generation Mexican American and retired bilingual teacher, has dedicated her life to empowering young minds. As an author and advocate for children’s emotional and cognitive development, she brings a powerful message about nurturing self-awareness, confidence, and inner dialogue from an early age. Through her work, Armida encourages children to find their voice, recognize their worth, and understand that no matter their age, they have the power to make a meaningful impact in the world. This conversation with Armida Espinoza reminds us that self-negotiation isn’t just a skill — it’s a foundation for resilience, empathy, and authentic confidence. In this episode, you will learn: Why it’s critical to start learning at a very young age. How can parents or educators support kids in developing their skills? How does the book help children negotiate with fears and uncertainties when they are faced with unfamiliar experiences or environments to learn new things. How can hope be a part of a child’s internal negotiation process. How to recognize which voice to listen to. How to negotiate your own inner critic. And many more!
