Over 20 million women between 50 and 65 are exiting careers that defined them for decades — and walking straight into an identity crisis no one prepared them for. In this powerful session, TEDx speaker and creator of The Doubt Committee Framework™ dismantles the secondhand beliefs keeping high-achieving women stuck in the gap between who they were and who they are becoming — and replaces them with a clear roadmap for reclaiming purpose, identity, and community. Your members will leave knowing that their most powerful chapter isn't behind them — it is just beginning.
Every seat at the Doubt Committee costs you something. A promotion not pursued. A business not launched. A voice kept quiet in a room where it was needed most. In this powerful keynote, Susan Houston exposes the hidden toll of second hand doubt — the borrowed fears, inherited limitations, and internal voices that quietly drain women of their boldest moves. Audiences will walk away knowing exactly what doubt has stolen, how to reclaim it, and why they were never meant to pay that price in the first place.
