VEST Her Podcast
The VEST Her Podcast is about the real, often hidden challenges that hold women back—at work, in society, and in building wealth. It highlights the stories of women pushing for change and creating new paths forward.
We talk about the pressure to do it all, the self-doubt that creeps in, and the systems that were never built with us in mind. Each episode features honest conversations with women who are figuring it out—whether they’re switching careers, launching businesses, raising families, or learning to lead on their own terms.
This podcast is for anyone tired of being told to just “lean in” and ready to do things differently. If you want to grow, speak up, build confidence, and be part of a supportive community—you’re in the right place.
We’re here to question the rules, share what’s real, and build a better future—together.

Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome
What are the systems and societal norms getting in the way of women achieving economic mobility? How do we call out and dismantle those systems?
In this episode we talk to Ruchika Tulshyan, author of Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work (MIT Press). She’s also the founder of Candour, an inclusion strategy practice.
A former international business journalist, Ruchika is now a regular contributor to The New York Times and Harvard Business Review on workplace equity and inclusion. Ruchika co-wrote a paradigm-shifting article, “Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome,” for Harvard Business Review with Jodi-Ann Burey. The article was among the top-read articles in HBR history, as well as the top three articles for the publication in 2021. Best of all, people all over the world have said it helped them stop blaming themselves for supposed imposter syndrome.
Ruchika is on the Thinkers50 Radar list, and LinkedIn’s 2022 Top Voices on Gender Equality, and was recently awarded the Jeanette Williams Award by Seattle Women’s Commission for her significant contribution and leadership in advancing women in the region. She’s raising a feminist son, who is 5. Ruchika is a Singaporean foodie who has lived in four countries.
