Time For A Quick One: Imposter Syndrome


Listen Later

Dawn and Tracy are here for another quick one! This time they’re talking about self limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome, something that many successful people suffer from. The ladies get into possible solutions for when your mind begins to wander, how healthy it is to think like this and the benefits of looking at the problem logically so that you can overcome it. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Tracy talks about the importance of acknowledging when you are in a downward spiral and how this can help you to break out of it.
  • Dawn stresses that it is important to see where you are now and take stock of that. You might be in a better place than you think.
  • The ladies talk about the importance of celebrating your own success and not comparing yourself to others.
  • Other people sharing posts of their success on social media can easily make you feel like your accomplishments are not as big. The ladies talk about perception and how what you are seeing might not be real.

BEST MOMENTS
“All the stuff leading up to a decision is hard, but the final decision is easy.”

“Only you are on your journey. It’s unique to you, don’t compare it to others.”

“Before you compare, ask yourself, are you comparing yourself to something that’s a load of bollocks?”

ABOUT THE HOSTS
Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up of all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets.  But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life. 

Dawn is mid 50’s mid menopause straight talking business maverick.  Four kids, three grandchildren, two businesses, one husband and a self proclaimed “hottie”.

Tracy is a mid 50’s awesome mum, business and property mentor. Proud of her raw, honest nature, “bonkers” sense of humour and good old-fashioned northern humility.

PODCAST DESCRIPTION

This podcast is for those of you who are tired of the “noise” and just want real down-to-earth gossip with no filters or fluff.  Dawn and Tracy bring heartfelt humour, raw honesty, spandex, stilettos, and intelligent conversion on being a real woman in today's world.
