What helped for me was to read every product book that I could get my hands on. Helped to close knowledge gaps and make better decisions

Product involves a ton of different skills. While the new hires seem better in one area, you probably bring other skills/domain knowledge to the table. Take this opportunity to learn from them and grow your skills!
I was in the same boat but they chose you for a reason; soak it in and continue to learn as much as possible! Could the lost feeling you describe be more to do with a new environment than your qualifications?

Am actually still in my old place where there has been a lot of churn. All my old colleagues in the product team are gone and I am on my way out. These new hires are the incoming replacements.
Oooo your comment above is interesting. Do you feel like they’re trying to replace you? Or do you think that it might just be that the fresh eyes are making you more aware of your day-to-day responsibilities? It could be neither of these as well but I’m just curious. Either way, stay strong!!! We are all so over critical about ourselves when we are actually really intelligent boss ass women.

I haven't yet officially resigned, it's more of the fresh, young blood replacing the old folks. I mean - some of the product management processes I have wanted to bring up to the broader product group - I never mustered the courage to do that (though I implemented them for my team) and a person less than a week old in the company seems to have already made a bigger splash than I ever did in 6 years! 😥
I ditto the other comments, but just recommend that you keep a positive attitude, be a team player, and try to continue to learn and mature your practices.
Show management that you are open to change and willing to try to improve.
It doesn't sound like you are stuck in your old ways, but if management gets the perception that you are, that could be a sign to get rid of you. But if they think you have potential, you may be an asset as you have the domain expertise.
I am assuming you don’t have a supportive boss who is a coach. I view my number one role as being a coach and motivator so I wish you worked on my team! No one deserves to feel that way. It’s frustrating how many managers just let employees float out there and fend for themselves.

Oh man! I wish I had a manager like you.
