What happens when a successful corporate leader leaves a familiar role and suddenly questions their confidence?

In this episode, Deb Boulanger and Farya Barlas talk about what really shifts when women move from corporate life into entrepreneurship. They explore how identity changes, past experiences, and imposter syndrome affect confidence, visibility, and growth. You will hear why pushing harder rarely works, and why internal capacity matters more than hustle.

If building self worth outside corporate structures feels unsettling, this conversation offers a clearer way to understand what is happening and how to move forward.

Quotes from Farya Barlas

"Your trauma is the reason you have come this far. You did not succeed in spite of it. You succeeded because of it."
"Procrastination is a safety mechanism. When blocks show up, your nervous system is reacting to a perceived threat."
"My work is about removing programming that never belonged to us in the first place."
