0:00.0	Hi, I'm Rushmastajani, founder of Girls Who Code. Look, I'd consider myself a pretty successful
0:06.8	adult woman. I've written books, founded two successful nonprofits, and I'm raising two incredible kids.
0:13.7	But here's the thing. I still wake up wondering, is this it? And if the best years are yet to come, when's that going to start? Join me on my
0:25.0	so-called midlife, my new podcast with Lemonada Media, where we're building a playbook for navigating
0:31.2	midlife, one episode at a time. Each week, I'll chat with extraordinary guests who've transformed their midlife crisis

1:51.5	Hustling to the next payday.
1:53.2	When I started doing things on my own and making more money in a week than I did from an employer in a month, I got scared like, oh my gosh, is somebody going to come
2:01.6	and take this from me? Is this real? So I really had to train my brain like, you can do it.
2:06.5	I learned about imposter syndrome. You feel like you don't deserve something or you're a fraud.
2:11.8	Somebody's going to call you out. All of that, again, is just, it's mindset. And I mean, like I said, I've been doing this 16, 17 years, and I still struggle.
