Ever felt like you don't deserve your success—like you're just "lucky" or one step away from being exposed? That's impostor syndrome, and it affects even top CEOs, artists, and professionals. The good news: it's not a life sentence—you can reframe it.


Why it happens: Impostor syndrome thrives on perfectionism and comparison. You see others' highlight reels and downplay your own hard work. Your brain convinces you that you're a fraud, even when evidence says otherwise.


How to fight back:

✅ Collect evidence of success. Keep a "win journal" with client feedback, achievements, and milestones. When doubt creeps in, read it back.

✅ Reframe failure. Instead of "I failed," think: "I learned something valuable." Growth comes from mistakes.

✅ Talk about it. Most people you admire have felt like impostors too. Sharing removes the shame.

✅ Own your expertise. You don't need to know everything to be qualified—you just need to know enough to add value.

✅ Affirm daily. Simple mantras like, "I belong in this room," retrain your self-talk.


Impostor syndrome loses its grip when you realize: confidence isn't about having zero doubts—it's about moving forward despite them.


You've earned your place. Stop shrinking

. Step into it.
