Megan Dalla-Camina is a globally recognised expert in women’s leadership, empowerment and feminine wisdom who spent almost two decades climbing the ladder in some of the world’s biggest corporate environments before a major burnout changed everything. <br /><br />She’s the founder of <i><b>Women Rising </b></i>(a global leadership program in 68 countries), a best-selling author, and she’s completing a PhD in women’s spirituality and leadership.<br /><br />Megan and I dive into why so many women are still feeling overwhelmed, undervalued or “not enough,” and how much of that comes from the invisible forces around us—not from personal failings.<br /><br />We talk about the systemic biases that shape women’s experience at work, the six <b>Paradoxes of Power</b>, and how these external pressures become the inner critic narratives we’re all so familiar with.<br /><br />Megan breaks down her <b>13 Inner Critic Archetypes </b>(yes, all your favourites are there: the Perfectionist, the People Pleaser, the Ideal Mother…), and we explore how each archetype has a light side and a shadow side that can either support us or hold us back.<br /><br />And because I couldn’t resist, we also go into Megan’s PhD research on women’s spirituality and feminine wisdom—which is absolutely fascinating—and why reconnecting with your inner knowing is a profound act of self-leadership. <br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways</b><br /><ul><li>You are not the problem. Many of the challenges women face at work are rooted in systemic and cultural bias, not personal inadequacy.</li><li>Internalised patriarchy becomes your inner critic. The “not enough” stories we tell ourselves often come from generations of societal messaging that we’ve absorbed without realising.</li><li>Megan identifies Six Paradoxes of Power that shape women’s experience. From the confidence paradox to the motherhood and visibility paradoxes, Megan breaks down how these mixed messages keep women stuck.</li><li>She has identified 13 Archetypes of the Inner Critic. Identifying your dominant archetype gives you a clearer understanding of your patterns and how to shift them.</li><li>Only 8% of women say they’re thriving at work. Megan shares fresh research on why the majority of women feel overloaded or undervalued—and what helps change that.</li><li>Practical tools make a difference. Megan talks through simple but powerful strategies like practising assertive phrases, building allies, and learning to name bias in real time.</li><li>Feminine wisdom is a source of real power. Reconnecting with intuition, inner knowing, and spiritual grounding isn’t “soft”—it’s a powerful counterbalance to systems that have traditionally suppressed the feminine.</li></ul><b>Connect with Megan</b><br /><b></b><br /><a href="https://megandallacamina.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>https://megandallacamina.com/</b></a><br /><br /><b>Grab your FREE Flow Reformer with your 1-month free trial of the Good Movement Club <a href="https://www.goodmovementco.com/offers/oNojma63/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>To register your interest in learning more about how I'm using AI to streamline my business, drop your details on the form below!<br /><br /></b><b><a href="https://cassdunn.com/ai-interest" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://cassdunn.com/ai-interest</a></b><br /><br /><b>Connect with Cass:</b><br /><b></b><a href="https://www.cassdunn.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.cassdunn.com</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Crappy to Happy:</b><br /><br />Email: [email protected]<br /><a href="https://www.crappytohappypod.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.crappytohappypod.com</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/crappytohappypod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.instagram.com/crappytohappypod</a><br /><b></b><b></b>
