Familiar with that nagging voice telling you you're not good enough, despite your achievements? You're not alone. Our latest episode peels back the layers of imposter syndrome, a challenge that over 70% of high achievers battle with. I open up about my own struggle and debunk the myth that success is a fluke. We journey through the origins of these feelings and why they're more prevalent among minorities and women. Across our discussion, we identify the classic profiles - from the Perfectionist to the Expert - and I offer up my own tales and insights from experts to help you spot and tackle imposter syndrome in your own life.

As the holiday season looms, we understand the pressure can mount, especially for those donning the 'Superman/Superwoman' cape. This episode doesn't just highlight the problem, it provides actionable advice. We confront the deep-rooted need for overachievement and the relentless pursuit of expertise, stressing the importance of boundary-setting and embracing the learning curve. Whether you're a 'Natural Genius' feeling the heat to get it right on the first go, or an 'Expert' in an endless quest for knowledge, this conversation is geared to empower you with strategies to break free from these constraints and confidently claim the success you've earned.
