Leading Lady Podcast | Coaching and Accountability for Ambitious Women Entrepreneurs

Welcome to the 200th episode of the Leading Lady podcast!

I can’t believe I’m already celebrating four years of podcasting! Whether you’re a long-time listener or this is the first episode you’re clicking on, thank you for being here.

As I was reflecting on this milestone and what I wanted to talk about in this episode, I started thinking about how, even 200 episodes in, sometimes I don’t feel confident in myself; imposter syndrome still creeps in. I know that we all deal with imposter syndrome, it’s a vicious cycle that so many women in leadership and entrepreneurship find themselves in, so what better topic to unpack together in this episode?

I’m sharing what imposter syndrome looks like for me, why it’s so common amongst entrepreneurs, and the key to overcoming it every time it rises up.

Topics covered in this episode include:

Why you experience imposter syndrome
How to break out of the culture of comparison
The beauty in knowing that no one else in the world is you

If you often find yourself struggling with imposter syndrome, I hope this episode will help!

199: Comparison is the Thief of Joy

We’ve all heard that comparison is the thief of joy, but lately, I’ve realized how true that really is.

All the time I hear women talking about how they should be doing something because they see someone else doing it, and believe me, I fall into this trap too. I get it.

Why do we think that doing something we don’t want to do is somehow going to make us feel happier or more successful?

This episode of the Leading Lady podcast is about rejecting comparison and instead celebrating all of our unique qualities and successes. Just because one woman experienced success in something, doesn’t mean you have to do it too. You can be happy for her and move on, and that doesn’t make you a failure. I’m sharing some of my own experiences with comparison as well as some tips to help you stop comparing yourself to others and start living as your authentic self.

Topics covered in this episode include:

How social media keeps you stuck in the comparison trap
The negative effects of constant comparison
Reconnecting with what you really want for yourself

If you often feel like you’re behind everyone else, you’re not good enough, or you should be doing more, you need to hear this! Tune in.

201: A Business Woman's Guide to Achieving Success and Balance

What’s the secret to doing it all? Well, the secret is you can’t.

If you see someone who looks like they have it all together and they’re doing all the things, I promise you they have a support system behind them helping them get it all done.

I think it’s important for us to talk about this more so that we can break down the idea that you should be doing it all on your own. In this episode of the Leading Lady podcast, I’m sharing some examples of things I have outsourced throughout my life so that I can feel successful as a businesswoman and in my personal life.

Topics covered in this episode include:

Why support systems are so necessary
Identifying where your time is best spent
Examples of things you could outsource
Finding and using resources that are available to you

Join me for a discussion about the value of outsourcing and how to find help.
