What if the thing you’re calling “luck” is actually a combination of preparation, self-belief, and being willing to create your own opportunities?

In this episode, I’m joined by Les Alfred, host of the podcast She’s So Lucky, to talk about the biggest lessons she’s learned from conversations with successful women. We discuss why women often wait for outside validation, how to stop treating every ask like you're begging, and why there is more than one path to creating the life and career you want.
