Imposter Syndrome: Do you feel like a fraud? How to identify where it comes from and why you feel it.

I'll admit it. The day I recorded this episode of The Influencer Podcast, I was scared.
 
I knew I was going to share something I'd recently discovered about myself that wasn't so pretty.
 
Here's the deal: Today, I'm walking you through one of my deepest fears...being "found out." 
 
In 2021 I wrote a book. During this time, I had massive discoveries. One was that I had a hard time internalizing my accomplishments. I also discovered I lived with a persistent fear of being exposed as a 'fraud.'
 
This is also known as imposter syndrome. 
 
I share some examples of this in my life and the research I found that helped me see where my delusions around imposter syndrome were coming from.
 
But there's more to the story …
 
This created a domino effect of uncovering truths about my other fears, including perfectionism, comparison, and self-doubt.
 
I uncovered what this deep-rooted fear was all about: rejection.
 
I used five tools from this discovery that helped me release this fear and step into a more loving and kind place with myself.
 
In this episode, you'll hear:

  • The 6 common characteristic's that define imposter syndrome and how they build upon each other
  • The 5 Steps to Releasing Your Fears
  • How to use an "Evidence Lens" to support your inner confidence
  • Ways to trust and care for yourself when you have fear
  • How to use your fear as a pathway to peace
  • Why we fear shame ourselves and how to stop doing it

No matter what's going on in your life, you have a choice. It only takes a slight shift in direction to begin to change your life.
