Am I Smart Enough? Rethinking Intelligence & Self-Worth
13:36||Season 3, Ep. 18This week, I’m re-releasing a solo episode that’s deeply personal to me. For most of my life, I didn’t believe I was smart.

But as I grew older, I started realizing that intelligence isn’t one-size-fits-all.In this episode, I share my journey to redefining what it means to be “smart,” how I finally found confidence outside of traditional measures, and why I believe so many of us are more capable than we give ourselves credit for. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, this one’s for you.Now feels like the perfect time to revisit this story—especially with so many new listeners here. Hope you love it. 💛Join the World’s Your Oysta community!Instagram: @wyo.podTikTok: @wyo.podYoutube: World's Your Oysta PodcastWebsite & Newsletter: WYO PodcastProduced by Peoples Media
