KNOW YOUR WORTH SERIES: We discuss common pitfalls, how to handle compensation discussions, handling the Interview and best practices to position yourself for success throughout the job hunting process.

Teresa Freeman hosts REAL-ATABLE, a space where conversations feel like sitting across from an old friend who isn't afraid to get real. This podcast lives in the rich intersection of personal stories and broader cultural currents, exploring how individual journeys-with all their unexpected detours and hard-won lessons-shape our collective understanding. Each episode features voices that don't just endure life's twists and turns but lean into them, finding purpose and perspective in the process. You'll hear raw, journal-like reflections alongside insightful discussions that touch on societal norms, educational philosophies, and the quiet moments of personal revelation that often go unspoken. The aim isn't to provide easy answers but to share authentic experiences that resonate on a human level. By tuning in, you become part of a dialogue that values depth over polish, and connection over performance. It’s for anyone who believes that the most relatable stories are often the most genuine ones, and that there's profound learning to be found in the nuanced tapestry of everyday life.
