Summary
“Maybe this is dumb, but… ,” “I know I shouldn’t feel this way… ,” “Does that make sense?”
These may seem like simple, innocuous words, but they’re just an outward example of the many ways that women and people socialized as women don’t trust their own authority. It’s no wonder that as women we struggle with people pleasing, seeking validation, and not being able to tune into what we really want - we’re literally socialized to do these things.

| 0:00.0 | Hello my chickens. I have very exciting chicken news. I was trying to think what would be like |
| 0:06.8 | a good chicken metaphor. What did chickens get excited about? Like there's new meal worms and a new |
| 0:12.2 | perch. No, but I have been working on this project and so excited about it and so fired up about |
| 0:19.1 | it and I have not been able to tell you about it yet and now I can. So I just am very excited. |
| 0:24.2 | So here's the thing. I have been doing a lot of work in the last kind of few months on writing my book and |
| 0:33.0 | creating curriculum around training coaches and just been really digging in to kind of my own work. |
| 0:42.0 | Like every time that I create something big new like a book like a new curriculum, it's this chance |
| 0:48.5 | to like recent the size and reprocess kind of what I'm teaching and what I think is really important |
| 0:54.2 | and one of the things that has been coming up for me so strongly is the way in which people who |
| 1:00.3 | are socialized as women are taught that they are not an authority in their own lives and I see |

| 1:13.3 | looks good. Someone else needs to tell them how they should look or not an authority on what we |
| 1:17.6 | should eat or how we should exercise. Someone else has to tell us that we need to read it magazine, |
| 1:21.4 | we need to read a book, we need to have somebody to tell us right that we are not authorities on |
| 1:26.8 | our own jobs. We're imposter's. We don't know what we're doing. We want someone else to validate |
| 1:32.4 | that we're doing a good job or that we deserve to be where we are. We think we're not even authorities |
| 1:38.0 | in our own minds. We're like how many times have you said something and then said well I don't |
| 1:43.0 | know if that makes sense or I know I shouldn't feel that way or maybe this is dumb but even just |
| 1:50.4 | our daily thought patterns are so infused with this belief that we are not an authority about anything. |
| 1:59.8 | And even if we have a small area of our life where we might say that we think we're an authority |
| 2:04.9 | in our professional life, I would say I think I'm an authority on building a coaching business in |
| 2:08.8 | some ways. But when I look at the way that my brain operates, even me now it still is like maybe |
