Do you ever find yourself struggling with self-doubt and lacking confidence, especially when it comes to voicing your opinions? This episode features communication expert and confidence cultivator Karen Laos, who's on a mission to help 10 million women overcome these barriers. 

Join us as we uncover the origins of self-doubt, often stemming from childhood, and discuss how focusing on one big goal can change our lives for the better.

Karen also shares:

• The most common message of self-doubt.
• The Broadway musical technique, which helps build confidence, and the fear script, both of which have the potential to transform your personal and professional life. 
• Learn about the most common behavioral traits among women, such as speaking slowly or with low volume, and how confidence can be portable across various aspects of our lives.
• We also explore the power of owning your opinions and making confident decisions. Karen recounts an experience when she broke free from her conditioning and began inserting her opinion first.

Lastly, listen to the end to hear the hilarious story of curiosity and transformation, and be inspired to break free from the prison of self-doubt.
