What does your CV say about you?

Yes, I mean your resume but also you elevator pitch or the person you tell yourself you are when making decisions, i.e. I am the type of person who supports women and have done so through the plight of my own career to show what is possible. That is an example of a story.
Reality check. Your story is keeping you from achieving joy and success as you know it. It the words of Mel Robbins, you need to believe harder. My caveat, before you believe you need to tell yourslf a different story. There is power in the narrative you’ve been yielding for this long about yourself. There is also medicine. The hardest part about getting to the next level is accepting all that you’ve achieved and letting it go. It’s like becoming the best in your field or discipline and starting again tomorrow as an intern in an entirely new space. Another analogy that comes to mind is villain vs superhero. Imagine yourself having done the things you’ve done but from the tone of voice of the superhero. I work a lot with future self visualisations, the idea that you can become anything by visualising (via meditation, hypnosis or simply daydreaming) as if it was the older version of you. Something that might help in this exercise is imagining harder. In the voice of a superhero or perhaps the place of your future self, what do you want your CV to say about you. In French, there’s this lovely aspect of language that does not form part of the English grammar, that is the future conditional tense. I love this idea that with language, imagination and storytelling we can describe something in the future that we will do with the texture the sets the stage/ tone. This exercise of revisiting your story is more about feeling out what you say, how it might limit you and how you can expand/ reframe this into something new.
