Today is the day to get up every morning and know your purpose.  To become intimate with your superpower and to lean IN to your authentic purpose!

If you find that you are spending your life constantly pouring into others and going through the motions this is for YOU - it is time to STOP and allow yourself the space to LEAN IN to YOUR SUPERPOWER.

Last week we discussed FINDING YOUR SUPERPOWER & one of the main blocks that hinders you from authentically leaning into & finding your superpower is IMPOSTER SYNDROME. In this episode we tackle IMPOSTER SYNDROME as a means to FINDING YOUR SUPERPOWER.  It is KEY to recognize what’s holding us back and draining our authentic self to move towards your path of purpose.  

What is imposter syndrome?  How you know if you have it?  We discuss the FIVE TYPES of Imposter Syndrome & HOW TO GET PAST IT!
