Latina Mic Drop Podcast with Miriam Simon
What has self-doubt already cost you? Que te ha costado la pinche duda?
Maybe it was the job you did not apply for, the business idea you kept delaying, the price you were afraid to charge, the story you never shared, or the win you refused to celebrate.
In this episode of Latina Mic Drop, Miriam Simon explores how self-doubt, fear of failure, family expectations, cultural pressure, and imposter syndrome can keep high-achieving women from taking action.
You may find yourself asking:
Am I good enough?
Who am I to do this?
What will people think?
What if I fail?
What if I make the wrong decision?
Do I get to have what I want?
These questions do not always mean you are unprepared. Sometimes doubt appears because you are stepping into a new level of leadership, visibility, confidence, or personal growth.
Miriam shares how doubt can be connected to childhood experiences, family criticism, cultural expectations, workplace pressure, fear of rejection, and the belief that it is safer to stay invisible. She also challenges listeners to identify whether the critical voice in their head truly belongs to them or was inherited from someone else - la mami, el papi, la titi, el jefe/a o alguien más.
In this episode, you will learn how to:
- Recognize the difference between self-doubt and genuine lack of preparation
- Identify where your fear and inner criticism originated
- Stop allowing family expectations to control your decisions
- Understand how doubt can affect your career, business, income, and visibility
- Use criticism as useful information instead of proof that you should stop
- Build a “receipts file” of accomplishments, testimonials, results, and wins
- Move forward before you feel completely confident or ready
- Take one visible action that your doubt has been delaying
The Doubt Reset Exercise

Doubt has been telling me:______
The truth is:______

You do not need to eliminate doubt before you take action.
You need to stop treating doubt like the person in charge.
