Marisa Kamall is a leadership professional and Founder of GAIA, a community focused on supporting and empowering women. Built on exploring how identity, expectations, and workplace culture shape the way women grow in their careers.

In this episode we discuss why many women are impacted by imposter syndrome, the challenges of navigating male-dominated environments, the likability tax, and why real progress for women requires changing systems, not just confidence.

Key Learnings:
Confidence isn’t an individual problem
The “likability tax” affects decision-making 
Diversity fails without education 
How community accelerates growth
