I'm Not Yelling! I'm Dominican: First-Generation Caribbeanites Navigating Life

Sometimes, that nagging voice whispering, "You're not good enough," can feel like your personal nemesis. In this episode, we peel back the layers of imposter syndrome, sharing our battles and breakthroughs with that persistent inner critic. We explore the societal pressures and childhood imprints that often lead many—especially women in the workforce—to question their own capabilities. We discuss how gender disparities and the unrealistic pursuit of perfection can overshadow our sense of achievement. It's a candid conversation confronting our internal critics and societal pressures, affirming that you're not alone in the battle for self-acceptance. Join us on this empowering journey where we affirm that recognizing your intrinsic value and embracing your individual purpose can turn the impossible into the "I'm possible."
