Summary

What happens when you stop waiting to be chosen and start making your own opportunities? This week on Superwomen, I’m joined by Danielle Robay, journalist, founder and host of the podcast Question Everything to uncover how curiosity became the foundation of her career, and what had to change for to fully step into it. Dubbed the Queen of Questions, Danielle is a true believer in the power of asking – both on the mic and in real life. She shares how curiosity can open doors, how asking for more leads to better outcomes, and why it’s important to authentically build relationships, not just network. Find out how she bet on herself after leaving a job in journalism, her take on how to build confidence over time, and the shift that ultimately changed everything. Take notes because this one will make you stop talking and start asking.
