No More Playing Small: How to Get from Self-Doubt to Self-Assured

Do you ever hesitate to share your ideas, worrying they’re not good enough?
Do you replay moments in your head, wondering why you didn’t speak up?
Do you feel like you’re constantly battling self-doubt, even when you know you’re capable?

You’re not alone—and it’s not just “imposter syndrome.” These moments of self-doubt often stem from the freeze response, a survival instinct designed to keep us safe but now holding us back. For women, this response is reinforced by societal messaging that teaches us to stay quiet, be likable, and avoid risks.

But here’s the truth: Confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build.

In this talk, you’ll discover:

• The surprising science behind self-doubt, “imposter syndrome,” and the freeze response—and why it shows up for women in high-stakes moments.
• How to stop overthinking and start taking action, even when self-doubt kicks in.
• A simple yet powerful framework to shift from second-guessing to self-assuredness in any situation.

2. Actionable Tools: Practical strategies to stop playing small and start showing up with confidence.
