# 138 - How to Build Authority in Your Niche as a Female Entrepreneur
Fri Feb 06 2026
If you’ve been doing the work, building the thing, showing up consistently…but still hesitating to fully own your voice, your title, or your authority, this episode is for you.
In this episode I’m calling out one of the biggest blocks I see in women in business when it comes to owning your voice and your authority: waiting for permission.
Permission to be confident.Permission to be seen as the expert.Permission to take up space.
Authority isn’t about being louder, more polished, or more “strategic”, it’s about ownership. Ownership of who you are, what you know, and the woman you’re becoming.
We talk identity.We talk imposter syndrome.We talk the quiet self-doubt that shows up even when you’re doing everything “right”.
And I’ll walk you through simple reflection prompts to help you start showing up differently - not "one day", but now.
Why authority has nothing to do with ego or dominance
How waiting for external validation keeps you stuck
The identity shifts required to grow your business
Why imposter syndrome is often a sign you’re expandingHow old beliefs quietly cap your confidenceWhat it actually means to own your titleHow to start positioning yourself as the go-to... without forcing itHere are your journal prompts to sit with & be real...
What would help me feel more like the [insert title] I envision myself to be?What makes me feel like I'm not that version of myself? Be specificWhat evidence do I have to prove otherwise? The type that proves your capable.Who am I becoming in this next chapter of my business?
