What if imposter syndrome wasn’t a weakness, but a sign you’re growing?
In this episode, Alex and Annie are joined by Michelle Marquis, founder of The Marquis Effect and now author of The Bossy Girl’s Guide to Leadership, which has just been released. Written for women navigating leadership and self-doubt, the book is part memoir, part guidebook, and 100% Michelle’s authentic voice.
Michelle reveals the mindset shifts that shaped her journey, including:
Earn It While You Learn It – why progress comes from figuring it out as you go.
The Support Squad Effect – how to build your personal “board of directors.”
Blended Life vs. Balanced Life – a more realistic approach to work and family.
Agile Leadership – evolving your leadership style through constant learning.
She also opens up about moments of rejection, how she reframed imposter syndrome into fuel, and why thriving as a leader often means being willing to feel uncomfortable.
If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or questioned whether you’re “enough,” Michelle’s story will encourage you to see those feelings as proof that you’re moving in the right direction.
