About the podcast: Patriarchal power runs like software. Once you understand its code and where its bugs are, you can easily hack it. Inspired by The 48 Laws of Power, The Baddest Bitch in the Building is the first and only podcast discussing how to hack the patriarchy by teaching thousands of women how to:

  1. Use the patriarchy's loopholes to your advantage
  2. Unlearn the invisible conditioning keeping you small
  3. Stop letting guilt and shame control you
  4. No longer feel depleted in your relationships 
  5. Apply psychological strategies to get what you want
  6. Understand human nature so well, you'll always win


About Neeki: I earned my Bachelor’s in Public Policy with High Distinction and went on to complete my Master’s in Political Science, both at the University of Toronto. I've been invited to present my research on how underdogs build and leverage power at conferences across North America. Before launching this podcast, I worked in management consulting, advising senior executives at some of Canada’s largest companies. That’s where I learned firsthand that power isn’t given – it’s either taken or created.
