How do you navigate a tricky boss, advocate for a raise, or stay sane when your manager is MIA?

On today’s So Money, author and executive coach Melody Wilding returns to share wisdom from her new book, Managing Up: How to Get What You Need from the People in Charge. We explore how to maintain internal boundaries, read between the lines in power dynamics, and own your value—even when leadership is falling short.

Melody unpacks what it really means to manage up—not to flatter your boss, but to create the conditions for your success. She walks us through powerful frameworks, communication tips, and yes, how to advocate for more money without burning bridges.
