💌 SUBSCRIBE TO THE BADDIE BRIEF, our twice monthly newsletter (not really a newsletter, more like a 1 min burst of energy) delivered on Fridays A big flaw of the patriarchy is that it assumes power is loud. The good news for the girlies is that because there’s so much emphasis on being loud and obnoxious, the power behind silence is completely neglected. That's where law 16 comes into play.But also...WHY IS IT that when a man is quiet, he's "thoughtful." But when a woman is quiet she's "lost, confused, disengaged, a stupid idiot, blahblahblah..." Not only are we labelled a hundred things when we're quiet, but we're also expected to be people pleasers and fill the silence to make sure other people are comfortable. At our expense. Because silence is pretty uncomfortable. Well guess what, in this episode we're going to discuss:- How to stop taking silence as rejection - How to control the narrative using silence as a tool- How to use weaponized silence to get more info out of people than you would've by talking (this is NOT the same as stonewalling)- A comparison of the responses of two women who got cheated on in the public eye: Princess Dianna and Cardi B ✨Hope you love it and can use this law to make your dreams come true. You are the baddest bitch in the building.Love, Neeki xo🌸 DM/follow me on IG: @baddestbinthebldg💓 DM/follow me on TikTok: @baddest.b.in.the.bldg🖥️ Watch this episode on YouTube

The Pinkprint of Power: CEO Daniel Pillai discusses that when women lead, the fabulous rise
💌 SUBSCRIBE TO THE BADDIE BRIEF, our twice monthly newsletter delivered on Fridays I'm joined by Daniel Pillai, the Head Bitch in Charge (or the President & CEO, if we want to use technical terms) of Langton PR - a public relations & creative agency in Toronto, Canada. Daniel came from a cultural background where he was expected to become a doctor/lawyer/engineer, marry a woman, and live a nice, traditional life. So when he came out as gay, started a career in TV, and eventually became the CEO of a PR firm, I guess we can say he broke a cultural norm or two. Daniel shares his journey of self-discovery, navigating fear & imposter syndrome, and what happens when you work in female-dominated spaces.Oh and we close the episode with a tarot card reading🔮🎀 Follow Daniel's personal and tarot pages on Instagram💘 Follow Langton PR on Instagram 🌸 DM/follow me on IG: @baddestbinthebldg💓 DM/follow me on TikTok: @baddest.b.in.the.bldg🖥️ Watch this episode on YouTube

Girly law of power #15: Let people underestimate you
💌 SUBSCRIBE TO THE BADDIE BRIEF, our twice monthly newsletter delivered on Fridays Some guy from the 1600s is quoted saying "the truth is generally seen, rarely heard." That's the basis of this law, which is one of the sneakier girly laws of power. In this episode we're going to discuss:- How being underestimated puts you in a position of power, which I guess is good because as women we're often underestimated - The behaviours we need to unlearn so we can be more effective at controlling the narrative- Why you can only prove people wrong through your actions, never your words- The art of proving people wrong indirectly✨Hope you love it and can use this law to make your dreams come true.

Beauty with a backbone: How Jenn Harper turned a 3 A.M. dream into a clean beauty empire
💌 SUBSCRIBE TO THE BADDIE BRIEF, our twice monthly newsletter delivered on Fridays I sat down to talk with Jenn Harper, the founder & CEO of Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics - the biggest Indigenous-founded beauty brand in Canada. Jenn opens up about her story of mental health, intergenerational trauma, and the way she turned her life around by refusing to let her challenges define who she is. This conversation was so special, and Jenn shared some very personal and vulnerable moments. Regardless of where you are in life, I’m sure you’ll resonate with her story and learn a thing or two about yourself 🩷 I definitely did. 💄Follow Cheekbone on Instagram and TikTok (stay tuned for their upcoming launch on April 22!)👸Follow Jenn on Instagram and LinkedIn🌐 Shop Cheekbone products on their website (use code NEEKI20 for 20% off), Sephora Canada, and JCPenny A bit about Jenn:Jenn founded Cheekbone Beauty in 2015. The company’s journey began as an online business, a direct-to-consumer brand that took pride in its commitment to reducing environmental impact and supporting Indigenous communities. In 2019, Jenn appeared on Dragon's Den (the Canadian equivalent of Shark Tank). She turned down the Dragons’ offers and went on to steer Cheekbone towards exponential growth, including contracts with major retailers in North America. This placed Cheekbone on equal footing with global industry giants. Cheekbone products are now sold in Sephora Canada and 550 JCPenney locations across the USA.Jenn is a voice for topics that are reshaping the business landscape: social entrepreneurship, empathy, representation, inclusivity, and sustainability. Jenn weaves her narrative as both a woman and a representative of North America's Indigenous peoples, and she embodies the importance of these values in today's business ecosystem.In 2022, Jenn was listed among the 100 Women of Influence by Entrepreneur Magazine (a list graced by the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian). In 2023, Jenn was conferred an Honorary Doctorate degree from the Goodman School of Business at Brock University. This honorary degree recognized her dedication to community betterment and sustainability. In 2024, Jenn was also named as one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women. 🌸 DM/follow me on IG: @baddestbinthebldg💓 DM/follow me on TikTok: @baddest.b.in.the.bldg🖥️ Watch this episode on YouTube

Girly law of power #14: Always be the centre of attention
💌 SUBSCRIBE TO THE BADDIE BRIEF, our twice monthly newsletter delivered on Fridays We live in a world where women are judged by their appearances. Instead of complaining about it, let’s flip the script and work backwards. Let’s decide how we want to be perceived, then dress for the part. That way, we’re in control of the narrative. Let the world judge us by our appearance allllllll it wants.In this episode we’ll discuss:- Why looks hold power & how being the centre of attention puts you in a position of power- Why visibility = value and enables you to command respect, making it easier to bring peoples’ defenses down so you can get what you want- 3 tips that will help you dress in a way that puts you in control of the narrative- The easiest way to stand out in any crowd I highly recommend you listen to law 9 (act like a queen to be treated like one) and law 3 (so much depends on your looks, use that to your advantage), as they have many parallels to this law!✨Hope you love it and can use this law to make your dreams come true.

"To learn the rules, you must play the game. To change the game, you must break the rules" - Anonymous
This podcast is based on the poetic justice behind feminine strength: men control the world, but women control the men. Through my "girly laws of power" I discuss how to find the patriarchy's loopholes, take advantage of the system, and dismantle it from the inside. Call it a feminine twist on the 48 Laws of Power.
Because the systems aren't changing. But we can find loopholes and hacks to make these systems work for us 😌
New episode every Wednesday.
Love, Neeki
