EP11: Supporting Women in Business with Dr. C.

The Confrontationalist With Danielle Gibson

“I think some women don’t want to see others shine. Not everyone, but the more we can shine light on others and continue to build that, the more it gives permission for other people to do the same. That’s how I always view it,” says Dr. Caroline Iscovitz, also known as Dr. C. In this episode, she joins Danielle Gibson to discuss her ventures and the journey of women in business.

Reflecting on challenges such as people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and fear of success, Danielle and Dr. C underscore the importance of community and support systems. They address societal pressures that lead women to doubt their capabilities, advocating for a mindset shift to overcome these barriers. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, they delve into deeper issues like scarcity mindset and self-judgment, highlighting the need for boundaries and transparent communication.

Join Danielle and Dr. C as they provide a roadmap for creating a more inclusive and empowering environment for female entrepreneurs, packed with practical advice and inspiration for navigating the entrepreneurial landscape.

Quotes

• “I think some women don’t want to see others shine. Not everyone, but the more we can shine light on others and continue to build that, the more it gives permission for other people to do the same. That’s how I always view it.” (13:05 | Dr. Caroline Iscovitz)
• “I think there are so many more women going into business for themselves now because they feel underappreciated at work. They’re not making as much as males and all the other issues we could probably have a whole podcast on. It’s part of understanding that we can ask for whatever we want. Will we get it? Probably not, but maybe. You will never know if you don’t ask or even just try.” (41:33 | Dr. Caroline Iscovitz)
• “I think some people are afraid to try because they’re content, they don’t want to rock the boat, or they don’t think they can ask for it or feel like they’re worthy of it. I believe everybody is worthy. If you put the energy and time into it, do the research, and do what you need to do to be successful, you can. But I think from a very young age, society has really stifled women in some capacities.” (41:57 | Dr. Caroline Iscovitz)
• “I feel like a lot of people don’t speak up. That’s why many women, from what I’ve seen and those I’ve spoken to, leave corporate to start their own businesses. They weren’t being heard and didn’t feel valued or seen. Now, they can thrive in what they’re doing and creating because they can voice what’s important to them and how they can help people in whatever type of business they have.” (44:20 | Dr. Caroline Iscovitz)
