Ever felt like a fraud in your own classroom, or doubted your ability to take on a new career path? Trust me, you're not alone. On our latest journey together, we confront the all-too-common imposter syndrome that plagues many educators as they consider new professional horizons. In today's episode, I draw from the depths of my early teaching days to shed light on these daunting feelings of self-doubt and discuss how they can unjustly tether us to our current roles. We navigate the intricate web of stress, burnout, and anxiety that contributes to this psychological challenge, all while highlighting the importance of embracing our innate competencies.

Today we explore the power of transferable skills, the impact of mentors, and the significance of consistency over perfection. By the end of our talk, you'll see why reaching out for support is a strength, not a weakness. Whether you're contemplating a departure from the classroom or already advancing towards a new venture, this episode will guide you to a place where your qualifications shine brightly, unfettered by the shadows of doubt.
