She has an amazing, wise answer right there.
Well, I think school is not our friend here on that particular issue.
That basically you are going to prepare to be ready to do things for 20 years.
And the whole emphasis of school, there's a lot of, you need years and years and years of preparation to be able to make a contribution.
But because the way our psyches work, we don't actually graduate and then feel ready.
We've just internalized that message for 20 years.
So that's a big part of it.
Another part of it is just that it's often terrifying to do what we most really want to do.
And we're looking for any excuse.
And so I'm not ready is like a nice vague one that we can always use.
Well, I would say it with a lot of compassion because it can be quick to go from there to kind of like, well, what's wrong with us?
And everything that women are doing around feeling self-doubt or trying to stay safe has a really good reason, right?
So we have to remember, we're still getting a lot of messages saying,
all kinds of cues from the culture that somehow women aren't really leaders or we're not quite qualified or the right fit.
And a lot of us have absorbed those messages.
So I feel like I'm working with the inner legacy of our history.
And so in that sense, it's not just like we are in our own way.
It's more to me like this is a really interesting transitional moment in history.
where we're coming out of a past, right?
Where women didn't have financial power, legal protection, political power, the opportunity to lead in so many ways.
