Lies and success

What's one lie you've been told about what it takes to succeed?

As women, we forget how many lies we internalize about what it means to succeed at work and what it takes to be happy.

Sometimes, the lies are spoken. Other times, they're unspoken; they're instead told to us by how we see others operating.

Some of those lies are:

❌You can't "have it all" as a working parent.
❌You have to sacrifice your personal life for career acceleration and success.
❌You’ll be more successful if you emulate stereotypical male behaviors.
❌ If you speak up or advocate for yourself, it will be seen as self-promoting.

Have you bought into any of these? I definitely used to.

Believing these lies holds us back, so we need to learn the truth and internalize that truth instead.
