You are your best advocate - yes, you! Self-confidence is so important. I’d like to share some resources of various mediums that help me remain encouraged and motivated.

Podcasts
The Intentional Advantage
This podcast really helps me self-reflect. Host Tanya Dalton discusses topics surrounding career and productivity, and themes each season, comprised of approximately 13 episodes. Learn more about the podcast here. For example, the theme for Season 15, which wrapped up recently, was strategies for success. Two episodes I really enjoyed from Season 15 were:
- 192: How to Stop Hesitating and Start Getting What You Want: As I said earlier, you are your best advocate!
- 193: Embracing Your Expertise: Many women are hesitant to own the title of “expert,” and Dalton explains why and how we should own it. In addition, here’s the link to the article Dalton wrote for Entrepreneur that she refers to in this episode.

Film
Enola Holmes
I enjoyed this adventurous film, which is available on Netflix. It follows Enola Holmes, the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes, as she searches for her mother, with the backdrop of women’s suffrage and social reform.
