7 Signs Imposter Syndrome is Blocking Your Success

#418: As a women's leadership expert coach, keynote speaker, and bestselling author for over 21 years, I've seen time and time again that Imposter Syndrome is one of the biggest things that gets in the way of brilliant, powerful women rising to the leadership and success they desire (and, quite frankly, deserve).

 

Listen in to explore: 

• The difference between how women vs. men experience Imposter Syndrome

• Proving yourself, comparison and perfectionism

• How attributing your success to luck contributes to that fraud feeling

Today’s show is especially for entrepreneurs and business owners. Whether you’re just starting out with a side hustle or have a multi-million dollar business, this show is a MUST LISTEN!

Listen in and explore: 

• Why so many women business owners avoid talking about foundational business things like legal, insurance, finances, and taxes

More about Ali: 

Before supporting coaches, practitioners, advisors, creatives, and service-based entrepreneurs with establishing legal, insurance, financial, and tax systems in their businesses, Ali was a lawyer who graduated first in her class from Georgetown Law. After building and selling her own 7 figure law practice, Ali built two million-dollar businesses before giving up on business due to over $1M in mistakes that could have easily been avoided had she known what you'll learn in the LIFT Business Foundation Blueprint.

Ali learned from these mistakes and was able to rebuild as a result, taking her business from inconsistent income to a consistent $5.5M in revenue (half of that recurring), and a $15.75M valuation.

Today, Ali is a go-to advisor for industry leaders (including many other lawyers and advisors). She is sharing her mistakes and the lessons with you so you can trust your own business foundations to support you with your next right income model, the consistent income you can count on, and the legal, insurance, financial, and tax systems to support you, at your stage of life and business.

More and more women are finally getting a seat at the table, but are their voices heard? A fascinating new study from BYU shows that women aren’t getting anywhere near equal air time when in group dynamics. Ugh!

 

Today we explore: 

• How group dynamics play out for women 
• Why women need a supermajority in order to be heard
• The power of interruptions and why it impacts women’s authority in groups

RBG: Women Belong in ALL the Places Where Decisions Are Being Made

#412: The Amy Ahlers Show is especially for powerful women that are ready to STOP being so darn hard on themselves and end the cycle of burnout, so they can RISE into a leader we can believe in. Show notes for today’s episode can be found at www.AmyAhlersShow.com/412

 

The notorious RBG, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was one of only 4 women to ever sit on the Supreme Court of the United States. Women make up only 3% of justices (4 out of 114) and it’s thanks to RBG that we enjoy so many rights as women. Today we celebrate her and honor her legacy.  

 

Listen in to explore: 

• The history of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and why she was such a badass
• How to honor her legacy with inspired actions to take now: 
  • Watch the RBG movie and bask in her glow
  • Sign the MoveOn.org petition to not fill her seat until after the election: 
  • Contact Senators that are most likely to block a confirmation:  Mitt Romney of Utah and Charles E. Grassley of Iowa may be possible dissenters, too, as might Cory Gardner of Colorado. You can contact each of these senators' offices and tell them why you think it's important to postpone the confirmation until after the election.
  • Call all these senators who said they would block voting in a supreme court justice in an election year
  • Donate to organizations that are working to replace Republican Senators such as Flip the Senate or Swing Left. 
  • Donate and become a member of American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) 
  • Help organizations like Families Belong Together  fight for immigrant rights and follow me on Instagram and Facebook, as I’m working with a local group to plan a vigil for those in ICE custody

Aging with Grace Series: Jennifer Arthurton: The Age Women Become Invisible

This is the final episode of the Aging with Grace Series and I’m so excited to have Jennifer Arthurton on the show. Jennifer is the founder of Old Chicks Know Sh*t, a website, and podcast, that explores the topic of aging with humor and grace. Jennifer had her own midlife reinvention at the age of 50 when she found herself divorced, an empty-nester, unemployed, and bedridden with a serious illness. She knows how daunting it can feel when all the messaging in our culture is telling us that we have somehow become a diminished version of our former selves just because we've reached a certain age.  The truth is we are in fact just coming into the most powerful point in our lives. 

 

In this episode, we explore: 

 

• The lost years of womanhood and how to find yourself during them
• How to stand in your power in midlife and beyond
• The way to stop downplaying your accomplishments and embrace your wisdom instead
