About this episode
We are surrounded by status games. Whether it’s having a blue text bubble, a fancy car or the right combination of universities and ex-employers - we’re constantly signaling our worth. But is it even possible to escape these games? Or is the conscious decision against obvious status games just the same game in a different form?
Jenny is a podcaster, best-selling author, keynote speaker and dog mom.
