Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong in the room, even after you worked so hard to get there?

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I sit down with Yesim Gözen, a former Google executive and tech leader who rebuilt her confidence after moving countries, facing imposter syndrome, and feeling like an outsider in male-dominated rooms.

Yesim shares her journey from Turkey to Dublin to London, navigating life, leadership, and identity along the way.

We talk about what happens when everything around you changes, and how to find your voice again when you’re no longer sure who you are.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to rebuild confidence after a major life or career change

• What imposter syndrome really feels like at the leadership table

• How coaching helped Yesim find clarity, courage, and a new purpose

• Why boundaries are essential for thriving, not just surviving

• A new perspective on success that doesn’t require burnout

This isn’t just about career growth.

It’s about owning your story, finding your voice, and knowing you belong.

🎧 Hit play if you’ve ever felt like the only one in the room, or wondered if you’re really cut out for leadership.
