Imposter Syndrome: The Lie That Keeps You Small (And How to Break Free)


Listen Later

You’re Not an Imposter—You’re Growing Into the Role

Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Who let me in the room?”

You’re not alone—and you’re not an imposter.

In this vulnerable and powerful episode, Sam Wakefield tackles the all-too-common struggle of imposter syndrome. Whether you're new to leadership, stepping into a higher level of sales, or launching something bold—this message is for you.

We unpack why high achievers feel imposter syndrome the most, what brain science says about this emotional resistance, and how to shift your mindset from fear to confidence.

Because the truth is:

You didn’t get lucky. You showed up. You put in the work. You’ve earned this seat.

📌 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What imposter syndrome really is—and why it often hits hardest after a win

✅ The neuroscience behind why our brain fights growth and new identity

✅ How to shift from “I hope I’m enough” to “I’m here to help them win”

✅ The reason feeling unqualified is often proof you’re the right person

✅ Two affirmations that will help anchor you when self-doubt creeps in:

“I’ve put in the work. I’ve earned this seat. I may not know it all—but I’m ready to grow into what’s next.”“I’m here to help them win—not to prove that I’m enough.”
