The Self-ish Me Podcast

Seeing a job and deciding not to apply, because you do not tick 100% of the criteria. That moment is not a lack of ambition. It is something far more ingrained, and it is exactly what this episode is about when it comes to women's careers.I am joined by Liss Owen, CEO of Open Door Scotland, supporting young people experiencing homelessness, and a political candidate standing for Scottish Parliament. Liss made a significant leap from middle manager to CEO in less than a year, and she brings a refreshingly honest lens to women at work, neurodiversity, imposter syndrome, and what it takes to back yourself when the system was not designed with you in mind.Together, we explore how masking and fawning show up in high-stakes moments like interviews and debates, and what it means to find a role that works for how your brain is wired. Drawing on my background as a Business Psychologist and coach, I weave in research on career confidence and the ways societal conditioning holds women back from going after the opportunities they are more than ready for.This episode is personal development for women who are done talking themselves out of the roles they actually want. Women's careers do not have to be linear to be powerful.Because your next role might be the one you almost talked yourself out of.Connect with KamInsta (@self_is_me) • Instagram photos and videosLinkedIn Kamila Turek | LinkedInConnect with LissInsta @libdemlissLiss Owen | LinkedIn
