Why do so many women question their own ambitions? And why do so many of us seem to instinctively NOT support each other? In this episode, I sit down again with Dr. Kelly Weaber to unpack how society influences the way we make decisions—whether in careers, parenting, or personal growth. We talk about the weight of expectations, the guilt that can come with putting ourselves first, and the subtle ways competition among women can keep us small. Kelly shares her journey of navigating these challenges, and we explore the power of self-validation, finding your people, and rewriting the rules for yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you needed permission to go after what you want, this episode is for you.
