Bridging the Confidence Gap with Sheena Yap Chan

In this empowering episode of Big Asian Energy, we sit down with Sheena Yap Chan—Wall Street Journal bestselling author, speaker, and host of The Tao of Self-Confidence podcast. With over 800 interviews under her belt, Sheena brings deep insight into what holds so many women back from fully stepping into their power—and what it takes to break through.

We talk about the realities of self-doubt, how perfectionism and fear keep us stuck, and why learning to believe in yourself is the most radical, life-changing thing you can do.

Sheen Shares:

• The truth behind the confidence gap—and how it affects women in leadership

• Why we’re conditioned to play small (and how to break free)

• What “ready, fire, aim” looks like in action

• Why self-promotion isn’t tacky—it’s leadership

• How to reframe rejection, get visible, and believe you’re enough

Whether you’re dreaming of publishing a book, going for that next promotion, or just want to feel less alone on the path to confidence, this conversation is for you.
