Because if I'm not telling myself that,
that I'm an amazing human.
Why would anybody else telling me make me feel any differently?
I have to do the work from the inside.
Yeah, it is such an interesting statistic when you look at it, because what I want women to understand is that if you apply to something when you're 100% qualified, you are overqualified, right?
You're already ready for the next job.
I think there's a lot of societal pressures.
I look back to my mom.
So my mom went to medical school in 1961.
She had grown up on a farm in rural Pennsylvania.
Her dad worked in the coal mines.
Her mom had a sixth grade education, but in basically ninth grade, she walked into a library for the first time and decided that, you know what?
I want this for myself.
I want to do something that the world is telling me not to.
And that's exactly what she did.
She became a physician.
Her whole life, she was told that she was working in a man's world and that her voice didn't matter.
But it did.
I mean, she changed lives.
And I think the way I look at everything now is that we don't need to worry about what anybody else is thinking.
