Feelings of self-doubt, inadequacy, and the fear of exposure has always felt like a mountain standing before me. Have you ever thought to yourself that one day you'll miraculously wake up free from this fear ... just to find yourself dealing with it years later? Have you ever thought: 'if one day this fear didn't exist, I could literally take on the world!'
In this episode, I talk about how difficult it has been for me to confront this head-on. If we really take the time to reflect on our battle with imposter syndrome, we'll uncover the initial experience(s) that caused this to become a hinderance in our lives. While it may be enlightening to uncover what moments caused a significant blow to your self-esteem, it may not heal the pain it caused. It may not heal the areas of our hearts which -- years later -- feel justified in overworking itself to feel an eternal sense of being "good enough". But what if this pursuit has caused you to feel like you've constantly come up short? What if that false perception of not measuring up has caused you to become so fearful of failure and harsh criticisms that you rob yourself of opportunities that you're fully capable and qualified for?
