Ever caught yourself saying "I just got lucky" or "I probably don't deserve to be here"? You're not alone. In today's episode of The Career Confidence Podcast, I share:

• Why we fall into the self-deprecation trap
• Practical strategies to break free from this unhelpful habit

Whether you're struggling with impostor syndrome or cultural conditioning around self-promotion, this episode offers actionable tips to help you own your achievements.
