Imposter Syndrome: Turning Fear into Fuel

In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that affects almost every entrepreneur at some stage of their journey: imposter syndrome.

We often think that once we’ve achieved success, the doubts will disappear. But the truth is imposter syndrome shows up at every level, and it doesn’t magically vanish when you hit a milestone. What matters is how you manage it, reframe it, and even use it as a superpower.

I’m sharing my own story of experiencing imposter syndrome, even while signing a publishing deal and releasing my books, and the techniques I use to turn fear into growth. You’ll learn how to spot self-sabotage, rewire your brain, and create a new narrative so you can step into opportunities with confidence.
