Who Am I Not To? A Mindset Shift to Overcome Imposter Syndrome


Listen Later

Have you ever looked around your business, your dream, your life and thought: “Who am I to be here?”

Yeah. Me too.

This episode is a raw, real, and honest repurposed interview from when I was a guest on the Go Getters Podcast with my southern soul sister, Kayse Morris. And we’re tackling something that every single entrepreneur deals with—Imposter Syndrome.

You know that voice—the one that says:

  • You’re not good enough.
  • Someone else is already doing it.
  • What if you fail?
  • Who do you think you are?

I’ve been there. And in this conversation, I share the exact mindset shift that helped me silence that voice and finally start moving forward with boldness.

Instead of asking, “Who am I to…?”

I began asking, “Who am I not to?”

Let that sit for a moment.

👆 That right there became my daily reminder: I was born for this.

Not because I had all the answers, funding, experience, or confidence.

But because I was willing to show up, learn as I went, and take action even when I was terrified.

You’ll also hear me share:

  • The weight of being a first-generation Latina entrepreneur
  • What it felt like to wear “imposter syndrome” like a varsity jacket
  • How being scared is actually a sign you’re doing something big
  • Why confidence isn’t a prerequisite—it’s a result of consistent action

If you’ve ever doubted yourself, this is your pep talk in podcast form.

Let’s throw off the jacket of fear, stop waiting for permission, and remind ourselves that we were made for more.
