What you'll hear in this episode:

[07:47] Imposter syndrome can stem from complex psychological factors, such as upbringing and childhood experiences that create a constant internal struggle between feeling praised and feeling inadequate.

[16:49] Importance of quiet confidence and accepting compliments.

[24:43] You don't need big achievements to be proud. Celebrate every little success and find joy in the simple things. Surround yourself with reminders of your accomplishments and moments that bring you happiness. Feeling overwhelmed? Let your past wins inspire you to keep going.
