Ep 29 | The doubt decoder: Turning imposter feelings into fuel with Mrs Kim Allen
What if imposter syndrome wasn’t a flaw to fix… but a sign you’re about to grow?
In this powerful episode, Rebekah sits down with construction industry powerhouse and keynote speaker Mrs Kim Allen to unpack how imposter syndrome shows up in unexpected places, and what to do when it does.
From high-vis job sites to high-pressure government meetings, Kim shares how she shifted from self-doubt to self-leadership in an industry that wasn't built with women in mind. They discuss identity, burnout, authenticity, and why changing your outer world starts by tuning in to your inner one.
Whether you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong, like you’re faking it, or like your voice doesn’t matter... this one’s for you.
What you’ll learn from this episode: ✅ How imposter syndrome hides in plain sight — even in confident, capable leaders ✅ Why women often try to ‘fit in’ instead of stand out ✅ What it really means to show up as your authentic self (without losing your edge) ✅ How Kim rewrote the story of “the missus” and found power in her own name ✅ Simple mindset tools to navigate burnout, self-doubt, and misalignment ✅ Why values are your best filter for making decisions — in life and leadership
