A new podcast titled *Doing It Anyway*, produced by Goalhanger, aims to provide listeners with practical advice on building confidence, particularly targeting women. Hosted by BBC broadcaster and author Katty Kay, who also co-presents *The Rest Is Politics: US*, the series features conversations with psychologists, business leaders, and authors. Together, they explore themes such as self-doubt, resilience, the gender confidence gap, and the challenges of overcoming people-pleasing behaviors.

Drawing on years of research, Kay approaches confidence as a skill that can be developed and strengthened, much like a muscle. The podcast’s first episode features an interview with US talk show host Mika Brzezinski, who shares insights from her own experiences navigating failure and advocating for fair compensation in a predominantly male industry.

While the discussions delve into professional challenges, the podcast also broadens its scope to examine how individuals can enhance their self-worth in personal relationships, including as partners and parents. Kay and her guests emphasize the importance of setting boundaries and valuing oneself to avoid excessive accommodation of others’ demands.

*Doing It Anyway* seeks to inspire listeners to embrace confidence as a tool for achieving their goals both at work and in their personal lives.
