Reclaiming Your Voice and Leadership Through Self-Doubt with JJ DiGeronimo

Leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room, it's about bringing out the best in everyone around you. JJ DiGeronimo has spent decades helping women see that.

JJ joins host Ria to unpack why self-doubt never fully disappears, how self-efficacy is built through action rather than readiness, and why carving out space for yourself isn't selfish, it's necessary.

About the Guest:

JJ DiGeronimo is the author of four books, including The Working Woman's GPS, Accelerate Your Impact, SEEKING, and Illuminate Your Path, and hosts the podcast Together We Seek. She helps women navigate leadership, self-doubt, and life's crossroads.

Key Takeaways:

• Self-doubt doesn't disappear with experience, even accomplished leaders carry it.
• You're never 100% ready for something new, being 50 to 60% ready is enough to start.
• Self-efficacy is built by leaning in before you feel ready, not by waiting.
• Carving out even 10 minutes a day for yourself isn't selfish, it's necessary maintenance.
• Real leadership means bringing out the best in others, not being the loudest voice in the room.
