Episode 32

Welcome back to another episode of the Empowered Journey Podcast! I'm your host, Shaheen, a midlife empowerment coach who's here to guide you through your personal and professional growth. I'm thrilled to have you here with me today as we dive into an important topic that so many entrepreneurs, especially women, can relate to – imposter syndrome.

I want to start by expressing my gratitude for your patience during my brief hiatus over the summer due to a bout of pneumonia. It was an unexpected detour, but I'm feeling much better now and eager to continue sharing valuable insights with you. Today, as we record on August 29th, 2023, I want to focus on the prevalent issue of imposter syndrome, particularly among women who are ready to pivot in their lives and embark on a new journey.

Imposter syndrome can be insidious, sowing doubt and self-criticism in our minds. It's that feeling of not being good enough, smart enough, or ready enough to take the next step, especially when pursuing a new career or launching an online business. Many of us find ourselves downplaying our achievements and comparing ourselves to others, which holds us back from sharing our unique wisdom and experiences with the world.

In this episode, I'll share my personal experiences with imposter syndrome, including the challenges I faced when starting my own coaching business. I'll explore strategies to overcome this hurdle, such as reframing limiting beliefs, embracing vulnerability, and practicing self-compassion. I'll also introduce an exciting opportunity – the "Wisdom to Wealth" membership – designed to provide guidance and support for women who are ready to step into their entrepreneurial journey and overcome imposter syndrome.

Remember, you're not alone in experiencing imposter syndrome, and it's okay to feel this way. But it's crucial to recognize that these feelings don't define your capabilities. It's time to rewrite the narrative, cultivate confidence, and share your unique gifts with the world. Join me on this empowered journey as we navigate imposter syndrome and move toward a future filled with purpose, fulfillment, and success.

Thank you for tuning in, and until next time, stay empowered!

Episode 31

In this heartfelt podcast episode, I, Shaheen, share with you the telltale signs that could mean you're destined to be a coach, particularly if you're in the midst of your life's journey. I open up about my personal path, how a lifetime of experiences and an aversion to the corporate world led me to this fulfilling profession.

I want to emphasize to you all that reaching midlife is not an end, but a beginning. It brings with it a treasure trove of wisdom, skills, and knowledge that can be wonderfully redirected into a career in coaching. If you find yourself being a good listener, if you have a genuine interest in people, or if you're the person everyone turns to for advice, then I urge you to consider this path.

Coaching is not just about helping others, it's also about continuous self-growth. I want to inspire you to see setbacks as setups for future triumphs. And for those of you ready to embark on this journey, I'm offering a three-day workshop, packed with practical guidance and encouragement. 

Join me, and let's start this journey together.
