The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn Dr. Dawn Tirado Hamby

Did you know that professional women today suffer from Imposter Syndrome in greater numbers than the men?  Well ladies, we’re not only going to look at the reasons WHY this is happening BUT we’re going to define what Impostor syndrome actually is AND we’re going to look at some easy ways that we can overcome it!  Welcome to Episode 44 of The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast – your place for Busy Career Women Who are Interested in Creating a Life They Love!  Now before we take a deeper dive into today’s episode, if you’re new here, WELCOME!  I am so glad you found us, and the first thing I want you to do is to head straight over to our website at www.drdawnshoptalk.com so that you can download some freebies I have for you.  On our Career Secrets Tab I’ve got blog posts that cover everything from time management to mindset AND when you first log on, you will have access to my FAVORITE  cheat sheet called What to Do When Your Office is Driving You Nuts – and if you look at the very last page it comes with a free bonus mini-coaching session with me, so be sure to check that out.  

Now FIRST, let’s define what this sucker actually is:  Imposter Syndrome is that psychological phenomenon where individuals doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud," can affect anyone regardless of gender. However, research suggests that women may experience it more frequently or intensely in the workplace due to various societal and cultural factors.
Here are some reasons why women may experience impostor syndrome more often:
1.  Societal Expectations, 2.  Gender Bias, 3.  Lack of Representation, 4.  Perfectionism. For details about these 4 reasons and much more, be sure to tune in to today's episode where we will also talk about these 5 ways that can overcome this in the workplace:
1.  Recognize and Normalize Feelings, 2.  Seek Support, 3.  Develop Self-Compassion, 4.  Set Realistic Goals: and 5.  Cultivate Confidence.

As we wrap up ladies just remember…Ultimately, overcoming impostor syndrome is an ongoing process that requires self-awareness, resilience, and support from others. By challenging negative thought patterns, seeking support, and cultivating confidence, women can navigate impostor feelings and thrive in their careers.

Are you an overthinker like me?  Then you know first-hand that overthinking can add to frustration, which then causes you to interfere with your own success. So let’s get to it – let me show you 3 easy ways that you can break free from this unhealthy pattern so that you can start taking some confident action steps towards your goals.
Step 1: Recognize the Pattern
The first step to overcoming overthinking is to recognize when you're doing it. 
 Step 2: Set a Time Limit
Give yourself a designated time to think through a decision or problem, and once that time is up, make a choice and take action. 
Step 3: Focus on Solutions
Instead of dwelling on potential problems or worst-case scenarios, shift your focus to finding solutions. Ask yourself, "What's the next step I can take to move forward?" 

For more info on these steps and more, tune in to today's episode, and in the meantime, consider this: Overthinking can be a relentless obstacle BUT it doesn't have to be. Starting today, I want you to start thinking of this pattern as JUST a wake-up call.

Welcome back, Career Women, to another episode of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook. I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and today we're talking about the ways in which we might be inadvertently hindering our own success in the workplace. So, grab your notebooks and get ready to take some notes because we're about to uncover the top 3 ways we may be blocking our success.
#1:  "Self-Doubt." Yes, you heard it right. Self-doubt can be one of the biggest obstacles standing between us and our goals. How many times have we downplayed our achievements or hesitated to speak up in meetings because we questioned our own abilities? It's time to silence that inner critic and start owning our accomplishments.
#2: "Fear of Failure." This one is a biggie. Many of us are so afraid of failing that we don't even attempt to reach for those higher rungs on the career ladder. But here's the truth: failure is not the opposite of success; it's a part of the journey toward success. 
#3 is "Lack of Boundary Setting." As career women, we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities, both at work and at home. But failing to set boundaries can lead to burnout and ultimately sabotage our success. It's important to communicate our needs clearly and assertively, both in the workplace and in our personal lives.
For more details about these 3 tips and more, tune in to today's episode!

Hello, listeners and welcome back to another empowering episode of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and since we are already a few weeks IN to the new year, we are going to talk about New Year's Resolutions, why they often times DON’T work, and what we can do about it.  I am also going to share a personal story with you about how the recent loss of my Mom has made me even MORE aware of how priceless time is and that if we haven't made our dreams come true yet, there is NO time to waste.

Let's start with the reasons why resolutions often times don't work:
Reason #1: Unrealistic Expectations: The first major reason why New Year's Resolutions tend to fail is that we often set unrealistic expectations for ourselves. 
Reason #2: TOO General:  Vague goals like "get healthier" or "be more successful" make it difficult to track progress and stay motivated. 
Reason #3: No Plan in Place:  Setting a resolution is just the first step - without a well-thought-out plan, it's challenging to know how to work towards your goals.
Reason #4: Neglecting Self-Care: Many of us put our resolutions ahead of our own well-being and then we can burn out.
Reason #5: Lack of Accountability: Lastly, a lack of accountability can lead to resolutions falling by the wayside. Sharing your goals with a trusted friend or mentor, or even finding an accountability partner, can significantly increase your chances of success.
So, now that we've identified the common reasons why New Year's Resolutions often don't work, tune in to Today's episode to find out what you can do about it so that 2024 will become THE year when you crush your goals!
