Episode 83: Success + Never-Ending Impostor Syndrome [featuring Shaelene Kite]


Listen Later

Many therapists who step into entrepreneurship get struck with fears around if they are doing things right, whether can they be successful, and when will everything come crashing down and everyone find out that they suck at this? Basically, impostor syndrome on a rampage...

And it's normal to feel it and to question yourself, but what matters is that it doesn't become a stopping point.

If you are wondering how to move forward in your entrepreneurial journey despite struggling with challenging, impostor-syndrome-filled thoughts, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk with Shaelene Kite, therapist, owner of DBT of South Jersey, owner of RebelMente Coaching, DBT coach, and yoga instructor.

Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:

  1. Understand how impostor syndrome can show up despite having success.
  2. Learn how to ground yourself by identifying the difference between what's real and what's impostor syndrome.
  3. Understand that one negative comment or mistake doesn't make you a failure and doesn't define your success as a person and professional.


  4. Impostor syndrome comes with the territory of entrepreneurship, but if you focus on the big picture of the amazing things you have and are doing instead of small mistakes or negative comments, then it becomes much easier to not get trapped in it.

    Remember that you are your own person and will do things your own way, so let your process happen, avoid the comparison trap, and find your supportive community so that you can thrive as an entrepreneur and move forward even when facing impostor syndrome.

    I want to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.
