    • Step 1: Reframe the Critic – Learn to use the inner voice of doubt as a guide rather than an enemy.

      • “Imposter syndrome isn’t protecting you—it’s protecting itself. The louder it gets, the closer you are to something great.”

      • “When you shift your focus to the people you’re here to serve, fear and self-doubt take a backseat.”
