173 | Why it’s so hard to feel competent (even if you’re pretty good at what you do)

Questioning your competence is not only exhausting and emotionally draining – but it can prevent you from creating the career that you’re truly capable of. I’ve seen woman after woman get stuck in a pessimistic, inaccurate view of her own competence – wrongly believing that she just isn’t as good at her job as everyone else around her. While this sense of inadequacy can FEEL really real, it usually isn’t rooted in objective reality and it’s usually the symptom of some deeper mindset challenges ...
