Lesson 4: Overcoming Self Imposed Barriers

Season #2

 

In this episode, I dive into the concept of self-imposed barriers, particularly focusing on the limiting beliefs and that persistent inner critic so many of us—especially women in business—struggle with. I talk about how crucial it is to challenge these beliefs to build your confidence, and I encourage you to take action even when fear creeps in. By acknowledging and addressing that inner critic, we can push beyond our comfort zones and achieve more success, both personally and professionally.
