When imposter phenomenon (also referred to as Imposter Syndrome) shows up, it can be really, really uncomfortable. In fact, for some people, it can become so uncomfortable they decide to give up on their dream because it just seems beyond them.
But here's an interesting thing I've noticed: Experiencing imposter phenomenon isn’t a sign that you’re unqualified or that you’re a fraud—it’s a sign that you’re growing, expanding, and playing in a bigger arena than you’re used to. You’re stepping into a role that challenges your current self-image, and that’s exactly what you should be doing.
Here’s the truth: If you’re not feeling some level of imposter phenomenon, you’re probably staying too comfortable, playing too small.
Growth doesn’t happen in the comfort zone—it happens when you stretch yourself, when you push your limits, when you step into the unknown.
Tune in to this episode and then get back to creating something amazing in your life!
