S5E13 The hidden imposter

"Imposter syndrome isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s the quiet pressure to prove yourself, the subtle doubts that whisper, ‘Am I really enough?’" ~ Rochelle Marie

In this episode of Her Leadership Coach, Rochelle dives into the lesser-known side of imposter syndrome—the hidden imposter. This isn’t the bold, in-your-face doubt that screams you’re a fraud. It’s the quieter, more insidious version that shows up in over-preparation, hesitating to take opportunities, or feeling like you constantly need to do more to prove your worth.

We’ll explore:

  • What hidden imposter syndrome looks like and how it differs from the more recognisable form.
  • Why high-achieving women are particularly vulnerable to this quiet self-doubt.
  • Practical strategies to shift from self-doubt to self-trust, including how to reconnect with your inner champion and take aligned action.
  • How to lead with confidence and inspire others by embracing your authentic worth.

    • Plus, Rochelle shares why recognising these patterns isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about rewriting the story imposter syndrome has been telling you.
