Episode Summary:
Have you ever felt like you weren’t enough, despite everything you’ve achieved? That persistent voice whispering, "You’re a fraud", is imposter syndrome—and today, we’re tackling it head-on. In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about self-doubt, the moment I realized I had lost touch with my self-worth, and how I took the stage back in my own life.

We’re tying today’s discussion to self-worth—a fundamental part of self-discovery and empowerment. Along the way, I pulled the Strength tarot card, which reminds us that true power isn’t about force—it’s about calm influence, resilience, and steady inner strength.

If imposter syndrome and self-doubt have been holding you back, this episode will help you recognize those limiting thoughts, challenge them, and step into your power with confidence.

🔹 What imposter syndrome is and why it affects so many women in midlife
🔹 How self-doubt keeps you playing small—and what to do about it
🔹 The Strength tarot card and how its message of calm influence helps in moments of doubt
🔹 Practical strategies to reframe negative thoughts, focus on achievements, take small confident actions, and build a strong support system
🔹 A powerful Inner Reflection exercise to reconnect with your self-worth
🔹 A personal story about overcoming self-doubt and embracing confidence
