In today’s episode, we unpack the reality of Impostor Syndrome, that feeling of not belonging even when you’ve earned your place. We explore what it is, how widespread it really is, and the behaviours that often come with it. You’ll also learn why Impostor Syndrome takes hold and how to overcome it with practical, confidence-building strategies.

Today you’ll be learning the following:

•   Impostor syndrome is more common than you think. Many high-achieving people experience it, and recognising that can help reduce its power. 
• Self-doubt doesn’t mean lack of ability. Feeling unsure is often a sign of growth, not failure.
•  Awareness is the first step. Identifying the thoughts and behaviours linked to imposter syndrome helps you take control of them.
•  Silence fuels insecurity. Talking openly about your experiences breaks isolation and reminds you that you’re not alone.
• Celebrate your wins. Acknowledging your accomplishments, no matter how small, builds confidence over time.
• Confidence is built through action. Consistently showing up, learning, and embracing imperfection helps shift from doubt to self-assurance.
