In this heart-centred episode, I sit down with Sheena Yap Chan, bestselling author of The Tao of Self-Confidence, to unpack the deep layers of cultural expectations, gender bias, and the internalised belief systems that often hold women back from rising. Sheena shares her deeply personal journey from dyeing her hair blonde as a child to feel accepted, to launching a podcast with over 800 interviews on Asian women’s confidence, to writing two major best selling books, all in the pursuit of one mission: to help women strengthen their self confidence level. We explore: ✨ The real impact of invisibility and lack of representation ✨ Why gender equality is still projected over 130 years away ✨ How trauma, shame, and cultural silence affect confidence ✨ Daily confidence-building practices (including Sheena’s 3-phrase mantra) ✨ The importance of asking for help and building community Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, or a woman on the path of personal growth. This episode will remind you: you are more than capable, and your voice matters.
