What if that sneaky voice in your head whispering "you don't belong here" isn't your enemy, but your secret weapon? We've all been taught to see imposter syndrome as something to overcome, but today we're exploring a complete reframe. That imposter feeling isn't a red flag—it's a green light urging you forward. I share why the "itus" family (not-good-enough itus, comparison itus, procrastination-fueled-by-fear itus) might actually be your competitive edge.

In this episode, we’ll explore the concept of confident humility—that sweet spot where self-belief meets openness to growth. We talk about how your quirks aren't flaws to fix but features to amplify, and I walk you through a practical exercise to transform your perceived negatives into superpowers.

The liberation of not being perfect is where the magic happens. When you feel like an imposter, you've got everything to gain and nothing to protect—no perfect image to maintain, no reputation to uphold. This spurs innovation, encourages deeper preparation and fuels relentless learning. That feeling isn't evidence you don't belong; it's evidence you're growing. Imposter syndrome isn't the problem—it's the rocket fuel you never knew you needed. And the question isn't how to eliminate it, but how to harness it.
