Episode Synopsis
Ever feel like self-doubt is quietly draining your productivity and sabotaging your success? In the first episode of Tied to Metrics, Kat Sosnick opens up about the hidden costs of self-doubt for high performers—especially in the high-pressure world of finance. With over 30 years of experience, Kat shares how she personally navigated the ups and downs of the industry and how constant second-guessing can keep you stuck. If you’ve ever been trapped in the cycle of overthinking or felt like your latest success or failure defined your worth, this podcast is for you.

The Real Cost of Self-Doubt: Self-doubt doesn’t show up on your balance sheet, but it can drain your energy and rob you of opportunities.
Mindset Tools for High Performers: The mental frameworks Kat has developed to stay grounded and focused, even in high-stakes environments.
Real Stories: Kat shares a career-defining moment involving Jeff Bezos that almost slipped through her fingers—and the lesson she learned.
