If you've ever doubted yourself, felt out of place, or struggled with imposter syndrome as a woman or person of marginalized identity, remember this:

There’s nothing wrong with you.

The corporate ladders are broken. Leadership pipelines are broken. It’s not your fault that society conditions women and marginalized people to question their worth.

We’re all put into “trances”—altered states of consciousness triggered by external influences—that lead us to second-guess ourselves.

It’s essential to have tools to snap out of these unwanted trances and connect with the full power of your mind—your Brain Magic.

That’s why I’m inviting you to my free, interactive workshop:

How to Tap into Your Brain Magic When the World Seems Like a Dumpster Fire

Thursday, 11/21/24, 1pm ET

Join me to discover practical tools that will help you access your inner strength and clarity.

Today's episode is recorded on November 7th, 2024 — just days after the U.S. election.

Like many of you, I’ve been navigating big, complex emotions: grief, disappointment, and a familiar feeling of heartbreak.

Today, I’ll share a personal reflection on what this election meant to me as an immigrant, a woman of color, and a coach who serves women striving for leadership in a flawed system.

We'll explore how Kamala Harris’s concession speech spoke to the hopes and resilience of so many of us, and I’ll offer a few practices to help ground us in this challenging time.

Above all, this episode is a reminder that we have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world, even when it seems a door has closed.

I’m Jamie Lee, an executive coach for ambitious overthinkers who want to stop holding themselves back and start advocating confidently to advance their careers.

If you’re curious about how to make that happen for yourself, visit jamieleecoach.com, where you can take a quick leadership archetype quiz or dive into over 100 blog posts packed with actionable tips on self-advocacy.

One of the biggest challenges I hear from high-achievers is figuring out how to balance their creative side with their ambitious, career-driven goals.

So many of us get caught up in all-or-nothing thinking: we assume that to pursue our creative passions, we have to sacrifice our professional success, or vice versa.

But what if it’s possible to do both? What if, by doubting ourselves a little less and taking a few bold steps forward, we could create a career that allows space for all of our ambitions?

Today, we’re talking to someone who embodies this possibility beautifully. I’m thrilled to introduce Rachael Eckles—a lawyer, bioethicist, and award-winning novelist.

Rachael has built a career that lets her thrive as both a successful professional and a creative force.

We’re going to dive into the risks she took along the way, the decisions that helped her merge these passions, and, of course, her fierce female protagonist who lights up her fiction series.

You'll learn:

• Rachel's diverse background and career journey, including her bold move to ask for a role at a pharmaceutical company's bioethics program early in her career.
• Navigating office politics and gender bias as a woman in male-dominated industries like healthcare and finance.
• The inspiration and creation behind Rachel's "Trading Secrets" book series, featuring the powerful and unapologetic character of Celeste Donovan.
• Rachel's philanthropic efforts through her foundation Aphrodite Gives, which supports initiatives empowering women and girls globally.
• Advice Rachel shares for women in the workplace, including the importance of being confident, assertive, and advocating for yourself.
• The role of storytelling as a common thread throughout Rachel's diverse career experiences.
• Rachel's plans to continue writing and publishing books, as well as her openness to collaborating with other female authors committed to philanthropy.
