Ep 09: brAVe [skills]: Believing You’re Enough

In this episode of brAVe [skills], Britt Yenser and Leon Prather explore the powerful theme of believing you’re enough—both in leadership and in life. They frame leadership not just as a title but as a daily practice that begins with self-belief and resilience.

Britt approaches the topic through the lens of grit and growth mindset—developing the confidence to step up when called, even without a formal title. Leon shares from a mental health angle, highlighting the common struggles of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the importance of confronting the inner voice that says, “I’m not enough.”

They discuss how feelings of being “othered” in professional spaces can deepen this struggle, and Leon offers personal stories about choosing to step forward, speak up, and trust that his voice matters. Both hosts emphasize that confidence is not innate but a skill built over time through action, grace, and persistence.

The conversation also touches on personal journeys—parenthood, changing roles, and moments of vulnerability—illustrating how believing you’re enough applies beyond the workplace. Practical takeaways include:

• Just start—don’t wait for the “perfect” moment to act.
  
  
• Confront self-doubt by naming and challenging the thoughts that fuel it.
  
  
• Extend grace to yourself and others, recognizing everyone wrestles with these feelings.
  
  
• Seek support when needed—therapy can be a valuable tool.
  
  

Ultimately, they remind listeners that showing up fully as yourself is always enough—and often the most powerful leadership act you can offer.
