Have you ever walked into a meeting, looked around and felt a subtle fear that one day someone might realise you’re not as capable as they think?

In this episode of Walk With Mii, I unpack imposter syndrome --- beyond the buzzword, beyond the surface-level idea of “low confidence.” I explore why it often appears after success, not before it. Why it tends to show up when you get promoted, step into leadership, or finally arrive at a place you once worked so hard to reach. I share why the people who experience it most are often the ones who care deeply about doing good work.

But this episode isn’t just about the individual. I reflect on how workplace cultures — especially those built around KPIs, performance reviews, comparison, and certainty — can unintentionally fuel imposter syndrome.

I also explore how imposter syndrome can be a signal of missing psychological safety — and how leaders, without meaning to, sometimes reinforce it by modelling certainty instead of honesty.

Towards the end of the episode, I offer practical reflections: how to shift the question from “Am I good enough?” to “What am I learning right now?”

Imposter syndrome is not proof that you don’t belong. Often, it’s proof that you care — that you’re stretching, growing, and standing somewhere new.

If no one has told you this recently — you’re doing better than you think. #WalkWithMii
