Listen Later

Struggling with self-doubt? Feeling like a fraud? You're not alone. Imposter syndrome keeps people stuck, second-guessing their abilities, and playing small. In this episode, we break down:

  • The real difference between self-doubt and imposter syndrome
  • Why high-achievers still feel like frauds (and how to stop it)
  • How cold exposure affects mental resilience (and why ice baths won’t fix your confidence problem)
  • The fastest way to break through self-doubt—mentorship and borrowed belief

Key Takeaways
