Too many female leaders are secretly avoiding AI, downloading tools but never using them, delegating it away, or pretending it’s not urgent.

That silence is costing influence, credibility, and growth.

You’ll see why leadership has never been about having every answer. It’s about asking better questions, learning out loud, and modeling the kind of fearless innovation your team and investors are desperate to follow.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The hidden psychological cost of perfectionism in AI adoption
• Why your value isn’t expertise — it’s asking better questions
• How to shift from “I don’t know” to “I’ll figure it out” without losing credibility
