About this episode
Sometimes we feel like we don't deserve to be in the room, on the team, or in the job.
That experience can be referred to as "imposter syndrome" but we don't like that phrase. Feeling like an imposter is more of a phenomenon – and one we believe you have the strength and ability to overcome.
We feel like an imposter when we don't have the ability to see our wholeness and our potential, even when there is evidence to the contrary.
Still we know that feeling can paralyze and hurt us, and we want to explore why and what to do.
On this episode we talk through how to do the work to uncover the imposter's voice, its origins and its deception, and how to overcome the self-sabotaging behaviors it can lead us to enact.
We talk about how to choose action over procrastination, practice instead of over-prepare, and show up instead of miss out.
And we talk about the dark side of humility – which doesn't get enough attention, but which absolutely makes us hard to work with.
