👉 Have you ever been given an opportunity that felt bigger than you?
👉 Do you feel like you need more experience, more confidence, or more skills before you can lead?
👉 What if stepping up before you're "ready" is actually the secret to success?

In this episode of Be Freaking Awesome, we sit down with Kash Rocheleau, CEO of Icon Foods, who went from Executive Assistant to CFO to CEO in just a few years—long before she thought she was ready. We break down:

• How to handle big career transitions (even when they come sooner than expected)
• Why imposter syndrome is lying to you—and how to silence it
• The one mindset shift that helped Kash step into leadership with confidence
• How to fail forward and learn from mistakes instead of fearing them
• The changing landscape of leadership—and what it means for the next generation

Whether you're an aspiring leader, a business owner, or someone who simply wants to stop holding yourself back, this episode will challenge you to step into your potential NOW, not later.
