You ever look at those ultra-confident people, the ones who walk into a room like they own it—and think, What do they have that I don’t? Spoiler: Nothing. They’re not special. They didn’t get some magical confidence gene. They just learned how to stop doubting themselves, and you can too.

In this special episode of Career Clarity Unlocked, host Theresa White, Career Clarity Expert & 5x Certified Career Coach, sits down with two powerhouse experts, Sheena Yap Chan and Dr. Jasmine Escalera, to break down how to build unshakable confidence and finally silence imposter syndrome—especially if you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong in the room.

If you’ve been holding back, shrinking yourself, or waiting for permission to take up space, this is your wake-up call. Sheena and Jasmine share their raw experiences navigating male-dominated spaces, overcoming limiting beliefs, and owning their power. You’ll walk away with game-changing strategies to reframe negative self-talk, create your “I’m dope” list, and stop giving power to that voice in your head that says you’re not enough.

Confidence isn’t reserved for “those” people. It’s for YOU. Let’s build it together.
