The Confidence Lounge: Where Ambitious Women Come to Build Career Confidence

Career Dysmorphia: How High-Achieving Women Lose Sight of Their Own Success


Listen Later

Have you ever hit a major milestone and immediately downplayed it?


Got praised at work and brushed it off like it was nothing?


Or scrolled through LinkedIn and thought, “I’m so behind,” even when you’re actually crushing it?


That, my friend, is career dysmorphia - a powerful cognitive distortion that makes even the most accomplished women minimize their wins and doubt their worth.


In this episode I’m breaking down:

⚡ What career dysmorphia is and how it quietly erodes your confidence

🧠 How cognitive distortions exaggerate the negatives and shrink your wins

📱 Why comparison culture fuels feelings of “I’m behind”

💬 The subtle signs (like rejecting praise or chronic self-doubt) you might be missing

🚀 And the strategies to finally see your success clearly again


Because when you start seeing yourself accurately, everything changes - your confidence, your energy, and your opportunities.
