In our first full episode of Bar Review, we unpack what it means to actually own the work you have done. Not just in hindsight. Not just when someone hands you an invisible trophy. But in real time. While you are still mid-sprint and questioning when everyone else is going to realize you do not know how to run (girl, you ARE fucking running...). We talk invisible shiny gold stars, confidence gaps, and what it is like to be women in a profession that still expects you to apologize for ambition.
The joy is in the work. Not in the validation. Not in the star. Not in the highlight reel. The work.
This one is for the high achievers, the doubters, the star-chasers, and those still figuring out what they are allowed to claim as their own. You are not alone. And you do not need to earn the right to believe in yourself. Cheers!
