My Imposter Syndrome journey started in earnest once I realised that the myriad of resources at my fingertips due to being a certified NLP Trainer weren't enough to deal with it. And that lightbulb happened the day I nearly punched a Buddhist monk.

Today's Ditching Imposter Syndrome podcast episode is for you if you've ever found yourself stuck on the emotional rollercoaster, feeling frustrated with people who talk about their 'inner still point', desperately wondering how to get your thoughts back under control.

• How to let go of our thoughts and even retrain your brain to become your biggest cheerleader
