About This Episode

Previously serving in medical missions around the world, supporting R&D as a cancer research scientist, and competing in beauty pageants, Iman Oubou has always embraced change and led with an impact-focused mindset. In this episode, Iman discusses how each of these experiences not only taught her something about herself but acted as a steppingstone towards the career and life she wanted. Along the way, she redefines feminism and empowerment in a way that encourages women to champion their own autonomy and take greater control of their lives. For Iman, the key to this is accountability. By first reflecting and understanding ourselves, including our specific strengths, weaknesses, and trigger points, we are able to build self-assurance, hold ourselves accountable, and embrace our full power. She also recently published a book, The Glass Ledge: How to breakthrough self-sabotage, embrace your power, and create your success, that expands on this. Tune in to hear how you can be your own best supporter and take full control of your path forward.
