In this episode, we uncork a conversation about something women in the workplace know all too well: the pressure to be liked.

From being told to smile more, to dressing differently to be taken seriously, to being labeled “aggressive” for simply being assertive — we share real stories from corporate IT and the courtroom about navigating double standards, perception, and power.

We talk about:
 – Tone policing
 – Appearance expectations
 – Age bias
 – Being called “passionate” instead of competent
 – Why supporting other women matters
 – And even how AI inherits historical bias

This isn’t about bashing men. It’s about unpacking the invisible rules women are expected to follow — and questioning whether being liked should ever be part of the job description.

Plus, we introduce our official cork rating system and review this week’s wine.

Pour a glass. Let’s uncork this. 🍷

In our first episode, we explain why we decided to start Uncorked Sisters, and why wine was never optional.

We introduce ourselves, open a bottle, and talk about how wine became our excuse, our ritual, and sometimes our problem.Along the way, we share some of our most ridiculous (and very real) wine experiences, from moments that went exactly as planned, to others that absolutely did not.

This episode sets the tone for the podcast: unfiltered conversations, sister energy, and stories that only come out once the cork is popped.One bottle. Two sisters. No filters.Let’s uncork this. 🍷
