Ep 179 – ‘Am I Enough?’: The #1 Internal Barrier to Women’s Success

Are you NOT applying for roles, or asking for the opportunities you want in your career? Could it be that you’re doubting your value and wondering if you’re good enough? If YES, this is the ep for you!

Today I am taking you on a deep dive into this belief ‘Am I (good) enough?’ Because if you’re running this ‘story’, it will be keeping you small and you won’t be showing the world the best of you.

Today let’s do a dive into the subtext that lies beneath this belief (however unconscious this subtext might be to you).

Let’s also directly challenge this thinking with 3 home truths so you can start taking control of your career!

Am I good enough means…

• Am I ready enough?
• Am I qualified enough?
• Isn’t it dishonest to apply for a role that looks too stretching?

Intrigued? Jump in and let’s tackle this common belief together!

Something I said today:

Am I Good Enough’ really means ‘Am I Good Enough, Just As I Am?’ This implies there’s something missing: you need MORE experience or MORE qualifications to be worthy or valuable enough. But is that true? I say not!” (Rebecca Allen, Host – Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
