Скачать или смотреть Stop Humbling Yourself: Owning Your Confidence with Alexis Barber

Why do successful, confident women seem to get hate for taking up space?

Today I'm bringing back content creator, podcast host of Too Smart for This, and founder of Too Collective, Alexis Barber, to chat about the burnout that comes with juggling multiple careers, what it takes to build a luxury brand, and how to deal with spaces that still question the value of female success.

From dealing with hate comments to redefining what it means to be "relatable," we talk about feeling the pressure to stay small while reaching for big dreams. Whether you've been told you're too smart, or too ambitious, you're just getting started.

We Also Talk About…

The realities of burnout when you're balancing multiple careers and passions
The impact of hate comments and the challenges of staying confident as a woman in business

Why being unapologetically ambitious is necessary-and how to own it
