On this candid episode of Get Real, Get Results, Chantell opens up about a recent incident between her and a male colleague at work.

The whole conversation and the proceeding fallout compelled Chantell to examine how exactly women are treated in the places they work, if the fact that women showing emotion should be deemed as “too aggressive,” and how we as women can take back the narrative and regain confidence in how we choose to address work colleagues—both male and female. This is an empowering and honest look at how even well-established women are still being stereotyped in the workplace, and the power found in refusing to change who you are for anyone.
