Today's episode is one that's close to my heart because it's about something I've struggled with – feeling invisible. I want to share my journey with you, from doubting myself to finally realizing that I deserve recognition. Let's talk about how I did it and how you can too.
Episode Highlights:
My Journey: Doubts and Triumphs: So, picture this – I got nominated for an award, and my first reaction was, "Me? Are they sure?" But you know what? I ended up winning second place in my category. It was a rollercoaster of self-discovery and resilience, and I want to share every twist and turn with you.What I Noticed: Along the way, I couldn't help but notice how other women promoted themselves. Some were loud and proud, while others were more subtle. I took notes, learned a few tricks, and I'm ready to spill the beans.Beating Impostor Syndrome: Let's talk about impostor syndrome – that feeling of not being good enough. Yeah, I've been there too. But guess what? It's not a disease; it's just a moment of growth. I'll tell you how I stopped letting it hold me back, and how you can do the same.Our cultural and social nuances: I talked about all those messages that from very early age we get about how we should behave: humble, quiet and "lady like" that takes us to as adult feeling that we don't deserve talk about our successesActionable Insights:
You're Worth It: Seriously, you are. Whether you're up for an award or just trying to get noticed at work, remember that you deserve recognition. Don't let anyone – including yourself – tell you otherwise.Be You, Be Bold: Self-promotion doesn't have to be sleazy. Find your own style and own it. Whether you're shouting from the rooftops or making subtle moves, just be authentically you.Embrace the Journey: Feeling like an impostor is part of the journey, not the destination. Embrace it, learn from it, and keep moving forward. You've got this.Thank you for listening!!
