    Imposter, Interrupted
    Dec 3 2025
    When nearly everyone in the room raises their hand to admit they experience imposter syndrome… it's time to stop calling it a “syndrome”. Questian and Nancy explore why this near-universal feeling shows up differently for high-achieving women in accounting—who, for various reasons, often push through it more slowly than men—examining the systemic and social roots that reinforce it. They share personal stories of feeling unqualified despite clear evidence to the contrary, and offer practical frameworks for recognizing, reframing, and finding relief from these persistent self-limiting beliefs.SponsorsForwardly - https://www.forwardly.com/shecountsRelay- https://relayfi.com/shecountsClient Hub - https://www.clienthub.app/lp/shecounts(00:00) - Introduction and Episode Overview(01:06) - Personal Stories and Experiences with Imposter Syndrome(03:37) - Defining and Debunking Imposter Syndrome(11:44) - Strategies to Overcome Imposter Syndrome(24:38) - The Broader Impact and Social Context(28:06) - Understanding Extroverts and Introverts(28:28) - Overperforming to Prove Yourself(30:29) - The Realization of Knowledge Gaps(32:02) - Roots of Imposter Syndrome(32:34) - Gender Expectations and Workplace Dynamics(33:55) - Personal Stories of Imposter Syndrome(36:37) - The Impact of Social and Structural Norms(40:02) - Self-Limiting Beliefs and Career Impact(42:28) - Intersectionality and Imposter Syndrome(47:47) - Overcoming Imposter Syndrome(51:01) - Recognize, Reframe, and Relief(55:12) - Tracking Success and Setting Metrics(58:15) - Coping Mechanisms and Final ThoughtsResourcesPsychology Today - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/imposter-syndromeDr. Valerie Young - https://impostorsyndrome.com/impostor-story/Tara Mohr “Playing Big” - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25310678-playing-bigJennifer Dymond - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenndymond/Theatre of Public Speaking - https://publicspeaking.mistymegia.com/?ref=857055Scaling New Heights - https://www.woodard.com/scaling-new-heights-2026Bridging the Gap - https://www.btgconference.com/Sheryl Sandberg - “... many people, but especially women, feel fraudulent when they are praised for their accomplishments.

  • Marking Ourselves Down: Gender Disparity in Pricing

    Marking Ourselves Down: Gender Disparity in Pricing
    Nov 19 2025
    Candy Bellau joins Nancy and Questian to discuss a problem that costs women accountants thousands of dollars every year: underpricing. The conversation covers why women tend to charge 25-50% less than men for the same work, how compassionate pricing and relationship loyalty keep us trapped in unsustainable business models, and what changed when Candy discovered male colleagues were quoting double her rates despite having less expertise. The three dive into practical solutions, including reframing value-based pricing, building community support around fee conversations, and remembering that sustainable pricing is not only about personal profit, but also about taking care of your team.SponsorsForwardly - https://www.forwardly.com/shecountsRelay- https://relayfi.com/shecountsClient Hub - https://www.clienthub.app/lp/shecounts(00:00) - Welcome to She Counts (00:55) - Introducing Today's Topic and Guest (01:38) - Personal Challenges and Support (04:24) - Kandy's Story: Overcoming Hardships (08:55) - The Turning Point: Changing Pricing Strategies (12:57) - The Impact of Underpricing (35:57) - Steps to Address Gender Disparities in Pricing (41:37) - Balancing Personal Life and Business (42:33) - Empowering Employees (48:01) - No Margin, No Mission (51:04) - Addressing Gender Disparities in Pricing (56:01) - Building Confidence in Pricing (59:20) - Practical Solutions for Better Pricing (01:12:42) - Final Thoughts and TakeawaysResourcesCandy Bellau on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicejohnsonkramerica/Unbalanced Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/4cikK2dd9JVvSmeyax58fQSam Hallburn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/pbsaccounting/Kramerica Business Solutions, Candy’s controllership company - https://kramericasolutions.com/Vandelay Forensic Group LLC, Candy’s CFE/Private Investigator Agency - www.vandelayforensics.comTheatre of Public Speaking - https://publicspeaking.mistymegia.com/?ref=857055Candy & Heather Satterley on the Woodard Report podcast - https://report.woodard.com/articles/twr-podcast-episode-99-candy-bellau-rwwr-twrpodCandy’s Woodard Report articles - https://report.woodard.com/articles/author/candy-bellauAndrea MacDonald on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-macdonald-cpa-4704042b/Carlos Garcia & Vanessa Vasquez - What Exactly to Say (for Accountants) at Intuit Connect - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yJoFL1rERELinks to articles and studies on gender pricing disparities:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0749597808001234https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3411764.3445636https://www.kauffman.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/gender_compilation_83016.pdfhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/money/usaandmain/2018/08/29/gender-wage-gap-women-entrepreneurs-time-give-yourself-raise/1123545002/https://www.inc.com/kimberly-weisul/why-women-business-owners-need-to-raise-prices.htmlhttps://www.bcg.com/publications/2018/why-women-owned-startups-are-better-bethttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0749597808001234https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/8a42df04-8b6d-4949-b20b-6f40a326db9e/the-pink-tax---how-gender-based-pricing-hurts-women-s-buying-power.pdfhttps://thegalproject.com/2025/05/21/pricing-with-confidence/SPONSORS: Forwardly, Relay, Client HubJoin Our LinkedIn Page!https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-counts-podcastSubscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SheCountsPodcastFollow She Counts on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/shecounts.show/Connect with Nancyhttps://www.thedancingaccountant.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-mcclelland-cpaConnect with Questianhttps://www.reqoncilefinancials.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/questian-telka-ea-78383666Earn CPE for Listening to This Podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/This podcast is a production of Earmark Media

  • Start With “NO”: Exploring the Power of Acting with Intention

    Start With “NO”: Exploring the Power of Acting with Intention
    Nov 5 2025

    Most professionals treat "yes" as their default setting, then spend their lives playing catch-up. Brandy Jordan joins us to help reframe "no" as a necessary operating system for strategic decision-making rather than a personal failure. The discussion covers the planning fallacy, why self-abandonment is unsustainable leadership, and how starting with no actually leads to better, more intentional “yes” decisions.
