“When I’m at my very best, that’s me asking myself what – just as I would my daughter or my husband – ‘what is it that you need?’.”

Tanya Geisler knows a thing or two about finding your purpose, cultivating joy, and how the imposter complex can screw it all up for high-achieving women. She’s on a mission to help us overcome the imposter complex, so we can step into our big dreams with confidence.

In this week’s episode of Women on the Rise, Tanya shares tips for overcoming the imposter complex, how to identify your “brand of joy,” and a simple but powerful question that changed her relationship to self-care.
