Dawn & Tracy | Imposter Syndrome, Self-Doubt, Low Self Esteem. Feeling Like a Fraud. Are we Inadequate or Powerful Beyond Measure?
Have you ever felt like you’re not credible, not qualified, not smart enough, like a fraud, like you’re an imposter? That is exactly what Dawn and Tracy are going to be discussing on today’s Real Women. Imposter Syndrome is something we’ve all felt and it centres around low self esteem. Listen in to find out Dawn and Tracy’s thoughts on that feeling, and if maybe we’re not as inadequate as we think, but we’re actually powerful beyond measure.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Imposter Syndrome is the persistent inability to believe that your success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of your own efforts or skills.
- You can find successful people in fields and areas where they have no right being and no expertise in. These successful people have the confidence to not let that lack of specialist knowledge affect them.
- Feeling like an imposter is just comparing yourself with someone else, and as Tracy says, comparison is the death of joy.
- Being fraudulent is different from having imposter syndrome. The people who dish out lies about their success usually buy into their own hype and don’t ask themselves if they have the right to sit at the table.
- There isn’t an imposter police. If you’re running a business and don’t feel like you belong, nobody is going to come and arrest you. The only thing that needs to change is your perspective. Why not reframe that fraudulent thought of “I’m no good at this” into one where you think “I’m getting better and better at this and growing and learning”.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m the only imposter because I don’t have imposter syndrome’
‘People self sabotage because they don’t think they deserve the success’
‘If all you’re doing is comparing yourself to someone else, then your blueprint is f*****’

ABOUT THE HOSTS
Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up with all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets. But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life.
Dawn is mid 50’s mid menopause straight talking business maverick. Four kids, three grandchildren, two businesses, one husband and a self proclaimed “hottie”.
Tracy is a mid 50’s awesome mum, business and property mentor. Proud of her raw, honest nature, “bonkers” sense of humour and good old fashioned northern humility.
PODCAST DESCRIPTION
The business of being a real woman juggling life, love and work for many of us is pure sweat, grit & hustle. This podcast is for those of you who are tired of the “noise” and just want real down to earth gossip with no filters or fluff. Dawn and Tracy bring heart felt humour, raw honesty, spandex, stilettos and intelligent conversion on being a real woman in today's world.
