Stuck in Imposter Syndrome? Super Charge Your Self-Confidence with Expert Sheena Yap Chan

Women are often expected to play nice, serve others, and do as they are told with a big smile. And if a woman learns to stand up for herself, she's often described as aggressive, controlling, or worse – simply for stating her opinions or tending to her needs. As a clinical psychologist and woman, I've found that an abundance of societal and cultural factors contributes to the limitation and erosion of women's self-confidence and authenticity. If you feel like you've had to live small and abandon your true self, stay tuned for empowering insights from a renowned self-confidence expert. 

Join Dr. Carla and Wall Street Journal bestselling self-confidence author, Sheena Yap Chan, for an uplifting discussion on how you can build stronger self-confidence, self-love, and self-esteem! Topics discussed include self-care, self-love, self-confidence, self-esteem, empowerment, feminism, authenticity, trauma, intergenerational trauma, family dynamics, menstruation, confidence, leadership, imposter syndrome, gender disparity, success, healing, support groups, self-help books, and psychotherapy.
