In this kickoff episode of the Boss Bitch mini-series under Unfiltered Vet Discussions, the conversation centers on what it really means for women to take the first step—especially in male-dominated industries. The panel shares candid stories about being underestimated, dismissed, or softened into first-name familiarity when male counterparts are afforded titles and authority. Through personal experiences in business ownership, leadership, and public visibility, they unpack how fear of failure, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to be “perfect” can hold women back.
