We all have a mean girl in our heads that tell us we don’t know what we are talking about or that we don’t have the right to teach others or charge what we do. Or worse, we might be dismissing our success and achievements as luck, magic or divine intervention. You my friend, may have imposter syndrome! Here’s some key points about Imposter Syndrome: It’s a real thing! Imposter Syndrome was identified by clinical psychologists Dr. Pauline R. Clance and Suzanne A. Imes in 1978. Generally impacts most on high-achievers and women. May be manifesting as not charging enough, shying away from potential clients, feeling paralysed to make decisions, feeling like a fraud, or feeling unhappy and dissatisfied despite your success. In this episode we will walk through what Imposter Syndrome looks like for you, why you might be experiencing these feelings of being a fraud and the seven steps I took to combat imposter syndrome. And if you are suffering from Imposter Syndrome or any of these limiting self-beliefs, join us in the Brand It Society [LINK] and let us know what you are feeling.
