What if success isn’t about immediate wins, but about learning to trust the process—especially when the results aren’t visible yet? We sit down with Elmira Bayrasli, co-founder of Interruptrr - a platform and newsletter providing a stage for women to be heard. After years in foreign policy, that brought from being a presidential appointee under Madeleine Albright to spearheading media communication strategies for The Organization for Security & Cooperation in Europe, she saw a recurring pattern: women weren’t just being left out; they weren’t being invited in. She built the platform that she needed, one that amplifies female expertise in traditionally male-dominated spaces. She founded Interruptrr to have women to be a bigger part of the conversation. Despite an impressive career and incredible accomplishments, Elmira has wrestled with a challenge so many founders face: an internal battle with not feeling capable, questioning her impact. The struggle with lack of tangible proof of success is real for many of us. Elmira learned that progress isn’t always visible. The key is persistence, trusting the work, and showing up even when self-doubt tries to keep you quiet. They key to moving past this fear, is to redefine what success looks like on a daily basis.
