One year later she'd shipped 10+ products and trained hundreds of women, without writing a line of code. The gap was never real. Marni Lindsay spent seven years in corporate tech as a product owner without ever writing code. Then her son arrived three weeks early, she took a year of maternity leave, and she walked back into a workplace that felt like it had moved on without her. This conversation is about what happened next: the have to versus get to reframe that changed how she saw AI, the moment she realized her colleagues were never actually ahead of her, and how she built more than 10 products and trained hundreds of women in AI during nap times and evenings. Dr. Johnna, Doctor of Psychology, and Marni cover: * Why feeling behind is a story, not a fact * The have to vs get to mindset flip, and the app it inspired * What "not technical" actually means in the AI era * Putting the date in the calendar before you feel ready * Imposter syndrome as evidence you have something worth sharing If you've been waiting until you feel caught up, this episode is your starting line.
