Imposter syndrome is a real struggle for many of us, but what if constantly talking about it is actually making it stronger? In this episode (#63), we challenge the idea that giving too much attention to imposter syndrome only fuels self-doubt. Instead of reinforcing the narrative that we’re “not enough,” Ellen de Werd encourages us to shift our mindset and stop giving power to the fear of not measuring up.

Quotes from the Episode:
🗣️ “Talking about imposter syndrome is not in alignment with your best self . In fact, giving it a voice is feeding your worst self...the weakest version of you.
