If you haven't listened to part one yet (episode #188, where Ola shares her story as a serial entrepreneur now building her fourth startup), pause here and start there, then come back. This episode picks up exactly where that one left off. This time the conversation goes deeper into the state of women in tech and STEM, then and now. Ola traces her own transition from spending fifteen years trying to compete with men on their terms (efficient, unemotional, always proving she belonged) to realizing that treating her differences as a superpower, not a liability, changed everything. She and Alex unpack imposter syndrome, the exhausting habit of chasing external validation, and why so many women (and plenty of men) are, in Ola's words, \"their own worst enemy.\" The conversation turns practical fast: how to stop being cruel to yourself in your own head, why energy (not time) is the real currency of a leader's day, and how learning to say no is what separates a good entrepreneur from a great one. And as a bridge to close things out, Alex and Ola talk about the STEMinist Summit, a two-day virtual event for women in STEM that Alex is co-hosting with AJ this October. Ola will be joining as a speaker, sharing more of exactly what you'll hear in this episode. If this conversation moved something in you, this is where you'll find your people. Mentioned in the episode: Episode #188, Part One of this conversation: \"Przejścia. Którędy do miłości?\" by Natalia de Barbaro STEMinist Summit (October 15 to 16, virtual): https://steministsummit…","meta_description":"▶︎ #196 | You Are Your Own Worst Enemy: Self-Worth, Boundaries, and the Real State of Women in Tech (Part 2) w/ Aleksandra Łoś In this episode of the Lema…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3181,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/leman-tech-leadership-podcast-7045357/episodes/196-you-are-your-own-worst-enemy-self-worth-boundaries-and-the-real-state-of-women-in-tech-part-2-w-aleksandra-o/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/leman-tech-leadership-podcast-7045357/196-you-are-your-own-worst-enemy-self-worth-boundaries-and-the-real-state-of-women-in-tech-part-2-w-aleksandra-o.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
