Imposter syndrome doesn’t disappear when you become a leader.

In many cases, it gets louder.

This episode explores why capable, high-performing leaders often feel like they’re one mistake away from being exposed — even when their track record says otherwise

We look at where imposter syndrome really comes from, why confidence isn’t always the solution, and how growth itself can trigger self-doubt. You’ll hear why feeling uncertain doesn’t mean you’re unqualified — and why the pressure to appear confident often makes things worse

This isn’t about positive thinking or “just believe in yourself.”

It’s about understanding what’s happening internally when responsibility increases, identity shifts, and expectations rise

We explore:

1. Why imposter syndrome often appears during genuine growth
2. The link between responsibility and self-doubt
3. How leaders unintentionally reinforce their own internal pressure
4. Why self-trust matters more than confidence
5. And how to lead steadily even when uncertainty is present

If you’ve ever thought, “What if they realise I’m not as capable as they think?” — this episode is for you

Because feeling like an imposter doesn’t mean you don’t belong

It might mean you’re evolving
