What if the voice telling you “you’re not ready” is the very reason you need to step up?
In this powerful episode of The Story I'm Telling Myself, we sit down with Elisa Juarez, author, speaker, DEIB consultant, and Board Chair of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, to explore what it takes to lead with purpose, even when imposter syndrome whispers, “Why you?”
Elisa opens up about her journey navigating identity, self-doubt, and the pressure of leadership as a light-skinned Latina woman in spaces where she often felt like she didn’t “look the part.” But instead of shrinking, she leaned into the question that changed everything: “If not me, who?”
Whether you’re a high-achiever facing invisible barriers, a woman of color questioning if you belong in leadership, or an advocate ready to speak up for a greater cause, this episode will challenge and inspire you.
What You’ll Learn:
How to shift from imposter syndrome to impact-driven leadership
Why your identity isn’t a weakness, it’s your strength
The mindset that helps leaders take action before they feel 100% ready
How to advocate for others, even when your voice shakes
Why belonging starts with believing you deserve to be there
This is your reminder: You don’t need permission to lead. Your presence is powerful. Your voice matters. And someone else’s breakthrough might be waiting on your bold “yes.”
