Your career looks good on paper. The salary, the title, the house. From the outside, you've made it. So why does it feel like it belongs to someone else?
In this episode, Limor sits down with Leila Lahbabi, who left a prestigious strategy consulting career in France, moved back to Morocco, and built two companies and a book called Billion Dollar Purpose.
Leila gets honest about the gap between looking successful and feeling successful, the guilt of wanting more when you "should" be grateful, and the day she cried at daycare drop-off and made a promise to herself that changed everything.
This is a conversation for any woman who is quietly wondering if the life she built is actually hers, and who has been taught that asking for help means she's weak or broken.
In this episode:
- Why looking successful and feeling successful are two different things, and how to tell which one you're living
- What "you're not starting from scratch" really means when you're afraid to begin again
- Why the people who cheered you on can go quiet the moment things start working, and how to handle it
- How to move from "Chief Everything Officer" to CEO so you stop being the bottleneck in your own business
- Why asking for help is courage, not rescue, and how women get this backward
