Nobody Told Me!

Jenny Wood: ...the biggest lie you'll ever hear in your career is "keep your head down"


Listen Later

What if the fear you feel isn't a stop sign — but a compass pointing you exactly where you're supposed to go?

In this episode of Nobody Told Me!, we're talking with Jenny Wood — author of Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It — about how fear, ambition, self-doubt, and boldness are all tangled together on the road to creating a life you actually want.

Jenny spent 18 years rising through the ranks at Google, ultimately leading a team responsible for tens of billions in revenue, and founding Own Your Career, one of the largest career development programs in Google's history. She knows firsthand what it means to step into bigger, braver versions of yourself — even when it feels terrifying.

Together, we dive into how to turn fear into fuel, why being "too much" is actually your greatest strength, and what it really looks like to bet on yourself when nobody else hands you permission.

If you've ever wrestled with impostor syndrome, second-guessed your dreams, or wondered if you're "ready" to make a leap — this conversation will remind you that courage isn't something you wait for. It's something you choose.
