Reshma Saujani: Imposter Syndrome Is a Lie - Here’s the Truth
About this episode
This week, Tamsen is joined by Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, CEO of Moms First, podcast host of My So-Called Midlife. This powerful conversation that flips the script on imposter syndrome, midlife reinvention, and the unrealistic pressures women face at every stage of life.
Reshma shares her personal journey—from running for office and founding global movements to discovering her purpose in the midst of racism and rejection. She reminds us that midlife is a mindset, not a number, and that your best work is still ahead of you.
From dealing with perimenopause in the workplace, to the toxic myth of “work-life balance,” this episode is a fierce call to action for women to stop hiding their dreams and start owning their voice, no matter what your age.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re too late, too much, or not enough, this conversation is for you.
What you’ll learn:
Why “imposter syndrome” is a lie and where it actually comes from
How to figure out what’s next when you feel stuck or lost in midlife
The power of choosing bravery over perfection
Why we must stop minimizing women’s pain—especially in perimenopause
How failure can become your superpower
Why your best work is still ahead of you
