In this episode of the Rise Up For You Podcast, CEO Nada Lena Nasserdeen sits down with Michelle βMACEβ Curran, former Air Force fighter pilot, Air Force Thunderbird solo pilot, and bestselling author. MACE shares how she went from a shy student to one of the few women to fly for the Thunderbirds, and how the pressure, competitiveness, and early failures of fighter aviation forced her to confront impostor syndrome and rebuild confidence from the ground up.
Nada and MACE explore how separating your inner critic from your true identity, taking small bold choices, and acting before you feel ready can completely shift your trajectory. You will learn why soft skills drive long term success, what it takes to move through fear, and how purpose guided MACEβs leap from the military into entrepreneurship. Her message is simple and powerful. Courage comes first. Confidence is built along the way.
