Retrain your Brain for success

A few breathing exercises at the point of crisis are unlikely to help you, the secret is to build mental and emotional strength BEFORE it, so you can

- maintain your ability to progress effectively and thrive rather than simply survive 
This podcast gives you informal, easy ways to exercise your mental and emotional fortitude regularly.

This podcast looks at how Imposter Syndrome (originally defined Imposter Phenomenon IP) might have come about as well as what we can do to address it.
