I Have a Story For You

This episode is for women who are highly capable and no longer willing to keep adapting to environments that don’t match them. If you’ve felt drained in conversations, under-stimulated in rooms, or quietly out of place in spaces you once thought you belonged in, this names what’s actually happening. This is not about becoming better at fitting in.  It’s about recognizing when the room is beneath y...

You’re not being overlooked because you lack ability. You’re being overlooked because the rules guiding your decisions were never designed for leadership. In this episode, Dr. Sonja Adzovic breaks down a pattern she has repeatedly seen among highly capable women: authority distortion — the quiet habit of deferring your judgment in rooms where you should be shaping direction. Through the story of “...

This episode is for women who are highly competent and quietly carrying more than they should. If you’ve ever been the one who “can handle it,” the one everyone leans on, the one who is easy to work with — this conversation names what that pattern costs over time.

This episode is for women who have worked hard, succeeded inside demanding systems, but feel capped. Who are beginning to suspect that effort alone is not the determining factor.

This episode is for women who already know how to say yes and are beginning to feel the cost of saying it too often. This is not a conversation about boundaries or discipline. It’s about identity, self-trust, and the quiet ways we abandon ourselves long before anything “goes wrong.” WHAT’S NAMED HERE • The difference between what’s fun and what’s actually yours • How misaligned yeses erode self-tr...

This episode is for women who have done everything “right” and still feel restrained by a version of themselves they outgrew long ago. This is not a conversation about confidence, boundaries, or self-improvement. It’s about the cost of staying quiet, agreeable, and endlessly considerate, long after it stopped being true. WHAT’S NAMED HERE How the “good girl” identity is formed and why you didn’t c...

I Have a Story For You is where ambitious women stop performing success, and start leading from who they truly are.
