In this episode of She Leads, your host, Shacara J., takes the mask off impostor syndrome — that sneaky inner voice that whispers, “You’re not good enough” even when you’re more than qualified.

It’s not your truth — it’s a lie rooted in fear, perfectionism, and outdated expectations.

✨ Inside this episode, we explore:

• The real reason confident women still question themselves
• How to identify the origins of impostor thoughts
• A powerful 3-step mindset shift to reclaim your voice
• Why waiting to feel ready is keeping you stuck

Welcome to the first episode of She Leads: The Voice of Women in Power with your host, Shacara J.

This isn’t just another conversation about women in leadership — this is a call to rise.

In this premiere episode, Shacara sets the tone for what She Leads is all about: claiming your voice, rewriting leadership rules, and leading without apology. She dives into the power perspective — sharing a real moment many women have experienced — and challenges the outdated narrative that leadership must look or sound a certain way.

✨ In this episode, we cover:

• Why women leading is not a trend — it’s a return to truth
• The subtle moments we’re conditioned to shrink ourselves
• What happens when we stop asking for permission
• The shift from waiting to owning our power

🎧 Takeaway: Power isn’t given — it’s owned. And it begins in how we speak, show up, and see ourselves.

💬 Listener Journal Prompt: "What moments in your life have made you question your power — and how are you reclaiming it today?"

If you’ve ever second-guessed your leadership or felt the pressure to lead like someone else — this episode is your reminder: You already are the leader you’ve been waiting for.

Let's talk about how we all tend to bleed out on those around us even when we try not to.

That's the one. Don't worry, sis. I got your band-aid, and we will talk about how we all tend to bleed out on those around us instead of bandaging up before moving on.
