Last weeks episode on overcoming imposter syndrome in education hot a nerve with some listeners! Many reached out to say, "It's like you were in my head."

Here's what I heard a lot:  Imposter syndrome often shows up in education when teachers consider pursuing different roles within their school or district, whether it was transitioning into administration, curriculum coaching, or specialized positions within the district office.

🎓 It shows up as fear of judgment from peers, and insecurity that they will not be taken seriously in their new role.

💡 Some educators also told me they realized after the episode they face imposter syndrome when pursuing personal goals outside of their teaching career.

So in this shorter episode, I encourage you all to pursue personal and professional aspirations despite potential judgment or self-doubt. And I also share the one inspirational quote that I have hung on to for over two decades, every time imposter syndrome or that critical voice of, "Who do you think you are?" has shown up for me.

I hope you enjoy it and consider sharing it with a colleague.
