Impost-Her Syndrome

Women often feel like we don't belong because we exist in a system where we were never supposed to in the first place.

Impost-Her Syndrome is when women: professional, educated, successful women, still think they're not good enough or they aren't worthy of their success, Where do these feelings come from, and how can you deal? Let's talk.

Fail, Spectacularly

Failure isn't an end; it's the ultimate new beginning.

Take failure and use it to create courage and resilience. To be resilient is to realize there must be more than one way to get where you want to go. To be courageous, you have to keep going until you find it.
