Having It All & Tackling Imposter Syndrome with Caroline Flanagan
About this episode
Danusia Malina-Derben takes on the myth of "having it all" with Caroline Flanagan, author of Be the First and all-round powerhouse. Together, they shred the outdated idea that women need to do everything to have it all—and dig into what your "all" could look like.
But that's not all. Imposter syndrome? They're calling it out for the fraud it is. Caroline shares her real-life experience of feeling like she didn't belong and how she flipped the script to reclaim her power.
This isn't about perfection or keeping up appearances—it's about learning to own your worth, rewrite the rules and reframe your inner narrative to find solutions (instead of self-doubt).
