32: It's Not Impostor Syndrome. It's Genius Blindness. 📅 17 September 2026

There's a kind of brilliance that becomes so normal to you, you stop calling it a skill at all.

You read the room before anyone speaks. You hold fifteen things at once and still know what matters. People trust you with the hardest conversations in the building.

And somehow, you've decided none of that counts.

Sis… the very thing that makes you brilliant might be the exact thing you've stopped letting yourself see.

In this episode:

The everyday phrase capable women say that quietly reveals they've stopped seeing their own genius Why calling yourself "just" a social worker might be costing you more than you know What Ade caught herself doing the moment she talked about the House of Lords The name Ade gives to this pattern, and why it has nothing to do with arrogance The one question worth sitting with before you decide what's next

Know something needs to change, but can't quite see what comes next?
