When Women Undermine Women

Confidence coach & behavioral researcher, Dr. Shadé Zahrai, reveals 4 mindset shifts to stop self-doubt, build confidence, and own any room!

Why do some women walk in and get taken seriously instantly, while others overthink every move, over-apologise, and shrink themselves at work? 

Maggie and Dr. Shadé unpack the hidden habits holding ambitious women back, the psychology behind “Lucky Girl Syndrome,” and why high-achieving women still struggle with self-worth. From speaking with authority to asking for more at work, this conversation is a masterclass in becoming the woman who stops second-guessing herself and starts being seen, heard, and respected!
