What happens when chasing empowerment leaves you feeling disempowered? In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur, scientist, and former Miss New York US Iman Oubou to talk about the self-imposed limits that keep high-achievers stuck. Iman shares how investor bias pushed her into victim mode, how she rebuilt from the inside out, and why true confidence comes from self-awareness, not outside validation. Get ready to learn how to balance authenticity & adaptability, and reclaim your power.
