Imposter syndrome rarely appears when you’re doing something easy. It shows up right before you do something that matters: sending the proposal, naming the price, pitching the client, posting the content, taking up space.

In this episode of Grit & Grace, we unpack why imposter syndrome often hits at the exact moment you’re about to level up — and how it can quietly turn into bargaining, delay, and shrinking your standards. This is a story-led, practical episode designed to help you recognise the pattern in real time, interrupt it, and take the next right step without waiting to “feel confident” first.

In this episode, we cover:

• The “send button” moment and why your brain starts negotiating with your standards
• What imposter syndrome actually is (a growth signal, not proof you’re a fraud)
• How to separate feelings from decisions and lead yourself through discomfort
• The CEO Evidence Method: label it, collect evidence, and take action within 48 hours
• A simple weekly challenge to build confidence through a track record, not a mood
