If you’ve ever felt like a fraud or been worried that someone’s going to call you out for not knowing enough, not having enough experience under your belt or not being adequately prepared no matter how much you’ve done (seriously, who HASN’T felt this way in a work situation?!), chances are you’ve experienced imposter syndrome.

It’s an uncomfortable feeling that can be detrimental to our success and wellbeing, but we don’t have to let it overtake us. And while it may not be realistic to completely eradicate imposter syndrome, you can absolutely move past it when it rears its ugly head –​​ and in this episode, I’m going to teach you how.
