In this episode of Ebbs & Flows, I’m exploring the concept of imposter syndrome, the psychology behind it & most importantly, how you can fight it and stop feeling like a fraud!
Is imposter syndrome even real?! I’m sharing my argument for why it’s not, and how this reframe can be empowering.
We’re emphasizing the importance of understanding that feelings of inadequacy do not reflect reality and offering strategies for overcoming these feelings that will help to set you FREE from diminishing your worth, value & achievements.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode!
Xo, Erin
