09 Apr 2025

Description

This week, Tamsen is joined by Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, CEO of Moms First, podcast host of My So-Called Midlife. This powerful conversation that flips the script on imposter syndrome, midlife reinvention, and the unrealistic pressures women face at every stage of life. Reshma shares her personal journey—from running for office and founding global movements to discovering her purpose in the midst of racism and rejection. She reminds us that midlife is a mindset, not a number, and that your best work is still ahead of you. From dealing with perimenopause in the workplace, to the toxic myth of “work-life balance,” this episode is a fierce call to action for women to stop hiding their dreams and start owning their voice, no matter what your age.  If you’ve ever felt like you’re too late, too much, or not enough, this conversation is for you. What you’ll learn: Why “imposter syndrome” is a lie and where it actually comes from How to figure out what’s next when you feel stuck or lost in midlife The power of choosing bravery over perfection Why we must stop minimizing women’s pain—especially in perimenopause How failure can become your superpower Why your best work is still ahead of you Watch the Full Episode Here: https://www.youtube.com/@TamsenFadalTV Get my new book, How To Menopause, Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life and Feel Even Better Than Before 💖 http://www.howtomenopause.com  Follow The Tamsen Show:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetamsenshow/ Follow Tamsen Fadal: Website: https://www.tamsenfadal.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tamsenfadal Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tamsenfadal You can find Reshma here:  Instagram: @reshmasaujani Website: https://www.reshmasaujani.com Podcast: https://lemonada.lnk.to/mysocalledmidlifehs Medical Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Ich bin Charissa und meine Empfehlung an alle Entrepreneure, startet mit Shopify erfolgreich durch. Ich verwende Shopify schon seit dem ersten Tag und die Plattform macht mir nie Probleme. Ich habe viele Probleme, aber die Plattform ist nie eins davon. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass Shopify ihre Plattform kontinuierlich optimiert. Alles ist super einfach, integrier- und verlinkbar.

Der sogar noch vor dem ersten Kaffee unverschämt gut gelaunt ist und mit der Morgensonne um die Wette strahlt? Furchtbar. Ekelhaft.

Imposter Syndrome. So we have all heard about it. And let's be honest, we've all felt it. That little voice in your head saying, you don't belong here. You're not good enough. Everyone's going to find out that you're a big fraud. Imposter Syndrome is a lie. It is a trick to make you feel that you are not good enough.

Meine nächste Gäste auf der Tampson Show, Reshma Sujani, ist ein Powerhouse. Sie ist die Founderin von Girls Who Code, die Millionen von Mädchen die Fähigkeiten, die sie brauchen, in der Technologie zu wachsen, und sie wurde letztendlich in Moms First gefunden, wo sie für verfügbare Kindertagesstätten und bezahlbare Auflösung kämpft.

85.116 - 98.561 Reshma Saujani

Sie ist ein bestsellender Autor, ein TED-Sprecher und ein Trailer, der ihre Karriere verbracht hat, diese Narrativen, die Frauen zurückhalten. No one just lets us in. I think work-life balance has impeded women's progress.

98.601 - 118.332 Reshma Saujani

Because you're like, wait, what the f***, I don't feel any balance here. So even if you've ever doubted yourself, felt like you don't belong, or wondered if it's too late to reinvent yourself, this conversation is for you. I know this sounds weird, but like, I actually enjoy... Now let's get started. Let's welcome Reshma Sujani to The Tamsin Show. First of all, it's so good to see you.

118.412 - 134.676 Reshma Saujani

It's so good to see you too. I'm thrilled to have you here. You always make me think. You come into a room and we have a conversation that is so... I think for days after we talk, I really do. Well, I'm so excited that we met and Joanna introduced us and we've become friends. I'm so excited about everything you're doing.
