#229 - Why Not You: Stop Looking for Reasons It Is Not for You

There are moments where you start questioning if something is really meant for you.

You look at the requirements. You compare yourself to others. You start listing all the reasons why it might not work.

And before you even try you have already taken yourself out of the running.

Salisha is getting into that today.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• The Black women on Broadway who have expanded what feels possible
• Why representation matters more than we sometimes give it credit for
• What happens when you watch someone take on a role that was never written for them and absolutely own it
• The difference between bold confidence and overthinking yourself out of opportunities
• What being married to the most go for it person she knows taught her about herself
• The mindset shift behind asking why not me

You do not need more proof. You do not need more permission. You just need to decide to go for it.
