Making Midlife Magic

Ep #49: Imposter feelings


Listen Later

Do you sometimes feel like an imposter? 

I do. I've felt like an imposter scholar, coach, mom, adult. 

Usually this happens when I'm having feelings I think a “real” scholar, coach, mom, adult wouldn’t have. Self-doubt. Sadness. Anger. Worry.

Usually we try to banish the feelings. We practice telling ourselves that we’re great. But the feelings often refuse to leave. So we feel like imposters. 

In this episode, I offer another way. Rather than trying to kick the imposter feelings out of the club, we’ll change the rules of the club. 

In this episode: 

🌟 Why feeling like an imposter doesn’t mean you have imposter syndrome 

🌟 Why trying to overcome self doubt often doesn’t work 

🌟 Why self-doubt is often a sign you’re doing something new and brave 

🌟 How to experience self-doubt without believing it 


Take a listen and let me know what you think!
