Yes, I'm the Engineer

Jessica and Nat interrupt Series 1 for a special International Women's Day episode, and it's a mix of laugh out loud moments and real reflection. From being mistaken for "the note taker", to comments about fashion choices, they reflect on how quickly confidence can drop once you hit the workforce.   They also explore the more complicated layers, how much of this is gender, how much is personality, and why "just be more assertive" isn't always a simple fix. Along the way, they talk about the pressure of becoming the most senior woman in the room and suddenly feeling like you're the walking case study for every younger woman watching.   You'll hear about:   1️⃣ The small moments that can undermine confidence 2️⃣ Why the "just follow the path" advice doesn't work for everyone 3️⃣ How to support, not compete, and still advocate for yourself   If you've ever felt like you had to work twice as hard to be taken seriously, or you've wondered whether you're reacting to a "you thing" or a bigger pattern, this episode offers a grounded, honest take. Jessica and Nat don't pretend there's a perfect solution, but they do remind you that awareness is a start, boundaries can be learned, and you're allowed to succeed as yourself, not as a version you think the room expects.   🌐 Connect with us: LinkedIn   Have topics you want us to cover?
