Hosts: Amy Sousa, Tracie Munce, and Lisa Carmichael discuss the Lone Wolf Myth.

In this episode, Amy, Tracie, and Lisa dive deep into the myth of the "lone wolf" and the belief that women must do it all alone to be strong and successful. They explore how this mindset is shifting toward collaboration, community, and co-elevation, and share personal stories about overcoming competition, intimidation, and imposter syndrome. The hosts discuss the power of supporting one another, the importance of reflection and self-care, and how the Glass Ceiling Foundation fosters a thriving, inclusive community for women at all stages of their journey.

Key Discussion Points:

• The concept of being in competition with your past and future self, and strategies for personal growth and self-reflection.

• The importance of community events such as book clubs, breakfast clubs, happy hours, and masterminds in building connections and breaking the glass ceiling.

• Practical ways to support other women, such as social media collaboration, online reviews, and genuine networking.

• Addressing imposter syndrome and embracing authenticity and self-worth.

• The value of discernment in building your circle and letting go of the need to be liked by everyone.
