Description

Ever sat in a meeting thinking “I don’t belong here”?

You’re not the only one and you’re definitely not the first.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the mental side of building a career in STEM: imposter syndrome, self-doubt, burnout, and the pressure to constantly prove yourself.

Joining me is Odeal Jacob, Director of Strategy and Operations at Moderna, who brings over a decade of experience leading high-impact biotech programs. Odile shares her powerful insights on how to build real confidence, stay motivated through uncertainty, and develop the kind of mindset that fuels long-term success in high-pressure environments.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re good enough, this episode is for you.
