I’m talking today with the unstoppable Alice Almeida about success, survival and overcoming imposter syndrome. Alice is the founder and managing director of The Amber Network with over 18 years of experience in media across TV, digital and print.

Having climbed her way to the top of the cut-throat media industry and undergone 5 years of IVF treatment, Alice knows first hand the pressures women face in their careers and personal lives.

In this episode, Alice Almeida shares her journey navigating her way up the leadership ladder, her struggles, her motivations and her lessons learned.

We talk about Alice’s long and challenging journey with IVF, the juggle between her career and her private life and how it all became too much to handle. Alice opens up about her struggle with imposter syndrome, feeling as though she was failing in her career and failing as a woman.

It is estimated that 70% of adults will experience at least one episode of imposter syndrome in their lives. It can be debilitating to constantly doubt and second guess your abilities, especially when it’s something so personal as fertility and IVF.

Imposter syndrome had completely overwhelmed Alice during this time and her struggles with infertility had defined her identity affecting every other aspect of her life.

Through working with me inside of the Business Attraction Program, Alice was able to rediscover who she was, love herself again and step into her power. After founding The Amber Network, Alice continues to prove that she is an absolute game changing woman, unafraid to dig deep and step outside her comfort zone.

Topics Discussed

[1:15]: It’s going to be a big juggle for Alice this year with most of her strategy being rolled out in Q1 and a new baby on the way

[2:00]: Alice grew up on Norfolk Island and moved to Sydney where she got started in the media industry. A turning point in her career was after a relationship breakdown where she decided to do it for herself.

[3:30]: Early on, Alice was fighting to prove her value and intelligence instead of just a pretty face with good legs. It was vital that she found a support network within the organisation.

[5:00]: Alice is most passionate and very vocal about equality. So many women feel they can’t speak out. Working with Will at Totally Awesome has been a great experience as he is very supportive.

[6:45]: Alice talks about her journey with imposter syndrome and the two sides of her life: successful career vs heartache and IVF in her personal life. She didn’t feel she could connect the two.

[8:30]: Alice shares the heartbreaking moment when she found out her third egg collection was unsuccessful just before she was going on stage at a conference. This is when she realised she couldn’t juggle both and imposter syndrome began swamping her.

[10:00]: When Alice came to see Tory, she didn’t know who she was. Working with Tory helped guide her to who she was, figure out where she wanted to go and love herself again.

[12:00]: Alice did a lot of work on her mental health in 2020 and after launching the Amber Network, she was in such a happy place and fell pregnant with her second child naturally, which she thought was impossible.

[15:00]: People find it therapeutic to share their stories and there is such power in community.

[16:50]: For one negative comment, focus on the 100’s of positives.

[17:20]: Alice will still be working at Totally Awesome and is launching events and retreats for the Amber Network in 2022.
