The Problem With Perfect

How to Fake It Till You Make It & Build Confidence


Listen Later

We've all heard "fake it to you make it." In fact, we've all done it - maybe we still are! So how do we know when this old adage serves us well (both professionally and personally) and when it's time to be transparent and share our authentic self? In this episode, we get real about the tension of being the new kid on the block on the job, who's trying to make a positive impression and big impact. We also get personal about the one thing married women should not be faking and the potential benefits of faking it till you make it in your relationship with your significant other. 


SHOW NOTES:

At 4:00, Rachel shares her surprise about how much on-the-job training her first "real" job required, even after graduating from one of the country's top journalism programs.

At 9:10, we talk about learning to be the varsity version of ourselves as opposed to the JV version of our bosses.

At 12:00, we acknowledge the stress of wanting people to think we have it all figured out instead of playing the newbie card and maximizing our learning opportunities.

At 14:00, we stress the importance of finding a mentor in the workplace.

At 19:30, Robin explains how to recognize dead-end thinking in an effort to re-train our brains. She shares what she and her bestie think women shouldn't be faking in their sexual encounters versus situations in which they might benefit from the re-training of the mind.

At 25:45, we introduce how to create new neuro-pathways and how they can eventually provide hope for transformation from the world's messages that constantly tell us we are not enough.
