Transcript:
"Hi, I’m Katharina Engelhardt, and welcome to the YOU GOT THIS! Podcast – your go-to source for career and leadership inspiration. Whether you’re just starting out, already leading a team, or balancing a demanding career with family life, this podcast is designed for you, the ambitious woman who’s ready to take charge of her career with confidence and clarity."
"Let me share a little bit about why I started this podcast and why it might be exactly what you need."
[Pause briefly]
"I’ve spent over 30 years working in the textile and clothing industry. From a young professional trying to find my voice, to a senior leader making strategic decisions, and now a coach empowering women like you to reach your fullest potential, I’ve faced the same challenges many of you are going through right now: self-doubt, struggling to balance career and family, wondering if I was ‘good enough’ to step into leadership."
"But you know what? Through every struggle, I discovered something. I learned that it’s possible to lead with authenticity, to succeed with balance, and to build a career that doesn’t just look good on paper but actually feels fulfilling – and that's what I want to help you do too."
[Pause briefly]
"So, what can you expect from YOU GOT THIS!?
Well, every month I’ll bring you two episodes that are all about making your career and leadership journey a little easier – and a lot more fun."
"In my solo episodes, I’ll be sharing actionable tips, lessons I’ve learned over the years, and insights that you can apply directly to your own life. Whether it’s mastering the art of communication, breaking through self-limiting beliefs, or simply learning how to manage your time more effectively – these episodes will be packed with practical advice and industry insights."
"But I also know that I’m not the only voice you need to hear from. That’s why I’ll be inviting incredible guests – women who’ve been there, done that, and who are ready to share their stories. These interviews will give you an inside look into how they’ve overcome obstacles, built their careers, and led with purpose. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their strategies, their failures, and their wins. We’ll talk about everything from navigating corporate life, to entrepreneurship, to finding work-life balance, and beyond."
[Pause briefly]
"But it’s not just about career tips – it’s about something deeper. It’s about helping you realize that you’re not alone in this journey. So many of us face the same challenges – the pressure to perform, the guilt of not always being able to ‘do it all,’ the fear of not measuring up. I’m here to remind you that you are more than enough. That you have everything it takes to succeed – and to do it with ease, joy, and confidence."
"Through this podcast, I want to create a community of strong women who support each other, grow together, and lift each other up. This isn’t just a show to listen to – it’s a place to be inspired, to get unstuck, and to step into the leader you know you can be."
[Pause briefly]
"Now, I know you might be thinking, ‘Why should I listen to this podcast? What makes it different from all the other leadership podcasts out there?’ And that’s a fair question."
"Here’s the thing: I’m not just sharing theory or ideas that sound good in books. I’ve lived it. I’ve navigated the highs and lows of corporate life while raising a family. I’ve made mistakes, learned from them, and built a career that I’m proud of. I’ve led teams, made tough decisions, and grown through every challenge. This podcast comes from my real-world experience – from the perspective of a woman who’s been in the trenches and who has come out stronger."
"More importantly, I’ve seen what happens when women are empowered to lead with authenticity. I’ve seen how it changes not only their careers but their lives – how they show up for themselves and their families, how they contribute to their teams, and how they inspire others to do the same. That’s why I do what I do – because I believe that when women lead, we create workplaces, families, and communities that thrive."
[Pause briefly]
"So, if you’re ready to start leading with confidence, if you want to break through the barriers that are holding you back, and if you’re eager to create a career and life that you love, then this podcast is for you."
