    Her Money. Her Work. Her Power. From self-doubt to AI confidence: reinventing your career at every stage

    In this episode of Her Money. Her Work. Her Power., we’re joined by Marni Lindsay, who shares her refreshingly honest story of changing careers, navigating imposter syndrome, returning to work after maternity leave and finding a new sense of confidence through AI. Marni talks about moving from financial crime into technology, why coaching helped her rethink what she was capable of, and the realities of rebuilding her professional identity after becoming a mum. She also shares how experimenting with AI took her from feeling overwhelmed by the technology to building her own prototypes and creating She Builds with Claude, a community designed to help women turn their ideas into something real, without needing to be coders. It’s a conversation about confidence, curiosity and giving yourself permission to learn as you go. Marni’s message is simple: you don’t need to know everything or feel completely ready. Start small, take the next step and see where it leads.
