Let’s talk about self-doubt.
Not the kind that whispers “Can I really do this?” before a big moment.
I’m talking about the chronic kind.
The kind that lives quietly in the bodies of high-achieving women.
Women who look confident on paper but are constantly questioning their value, second-guessing their decisions, or walking through their day feeling like one wrong move might expose them.
Here’s the truth: Over 75% of executive-level women report experiencing imposter syndrome.
Let that sink in.
The more accomplished you are, the more pressure you carry and for so many women, that pressure doesn’t build confidence.
It breeds a deep, internal self-doubt that doesn’t go away with another promotion, another raise, or another win.
But let’s be clear: For a lot of us, this isn’t a mindset problem.
It’s a safety problem.
We were never taught to trust our voice.
To take up space.
To feel emotionally safe in rooms not built for us.
And when psychological safety is missing?
Confidence isn’t just hard - it’s impossible.
That’s exactly why, in this final episode of our special edition LIFE podcast series, I knew I had to sit down with Dr. Kasi Lacey - a fellow confidence coach with a powerful story and decades of experience guiding women through the exact challenges we’re unpacking today.
Kasi helps high-achieving women build unshakable confidence, speak up without fear, and lead with authenticity - especially when the environments around them feel anything but safe.
Together, we’re digging deep into the real root of self-doubt and how to stop shrinking in spaces that were never meant to keep you small.
Because here’s the thing: Being in an unhealthy work environment is like staying in a toxic relationship “for the kids.”
It chips away at your self-worth.
It erodes your voice.
And it teaches you to question your own brilliance.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re only as good as your last accomplishment or like you’re walking a tightrope, one wrong move away from being “found out” - this episode is for you.
You'll walk away with:
✅ A breakdown of Kasi’s 5-step framework to overcome self-doubt and reclaim your confidence
✅ A truth bomb on why your 90,000 hours at work mean you can’t afford to stay small
✅ The real reason why men apply at 60% qualified and women wait until they’re at 95%-100%
✅ How to spot when your environment is unsafe, and what to do about it
✅ Mic drop moments on emotional safety, identity grief, people-pleasing, and rebuilding your voice
✅ The permission you didn’t know you needed to stop doubting yourself and start doubting your doubt
You don’t need to become more confident to earn your place.
You need to start believing you already belong.
Let us help you with that.
