The imposter syndrome episode every teacher needs.
You’re in the classroom, trying your best, showing up with good intentions… but there it is. That sneaky voice that whispers:
“Maybe I’m not cut out for this.”

Sound familiar? Yeah. Me too.

In this episode, I’m walking you through four of the biggest ways imposter syndrome has crept into my teaching life — from crying over curriculum codes to having students find me on Tinder (yes, really). Because if you’ve ever felt like the only teacher in the building who doesn’t have it together, this is your reminder: you’re not alone.

More importantly, this isn’t a “rah rah you’ve got this” fluff pep talk. This is real-talk about the systems that set you up to feel like a fraud, why your self-doubt makes total sense, and how to reframe those fears into fuel.

If you’ve been feeling like a walking imposter in your own classroom — this one’s for you. Let’s roll the tape.

What You’ll Learn:

• The four most common (and painful) ways imposter syndrome shows up in teaching
• Why feeling confused by curriculum or acronyms doesn’t make you incompetent
• How a group of Year 12s and Tinder nearly sent me into hiding (true story)
• Why behaviour challenges aren’t proof that you’re failing — just that you need better tools
• The difference between good and crap leadership when you’re struggling
• How to stop measuring your worth by how quiet your classroom looks
