The Permission Problem: Why You're Still Waiting for Someone to Tell You It's Your Turn

Episode Summary

Most women over 40 don't have a discipline problem. They have a permission problem. They are still waiting — for the kids to be older, for work to calm down, for someone to hand them a sign that says it's finally okay to put themselves first. In this episode, Jason Cook names the invisible force that keeps high-achieving women stuck in last place on their own priority list, and gives them the identity shift they need to stop waiting and start leading themselves.
