Today we're diving into the topic of overcoming impostor syndrome.

In this episode, we explore the insidious ways impostor syndrome can manifest in our lives:

1. **Seeking External Validation:** Relying on others' approval to feel worthy, even when we've achieved success.

2. **Crippling Self-Doubt:** Allowing impostor syndrome to undermine our confidence and hinder our ability to make decisions.

3. **Fear of Success:** Subconsciously sabotaging our own progress due to a deep-seated belief that we're not deserving of our achievements.

Drawing from personal experiences and insights, I share practical strategies to combat impostor syndrome:

1. **Celebrating Wins:** Taking time to acknowledge and celebrate even the smallest victories empowers us to recognise our worth.

2. **Preparation and Practice:**

Thoroughly preparing for tasks or projects helps alleviate anxiety and boosts confidence.

3. **Self-Affirmation:** Embracing self-praise, free from the constraints of cultural stigma, reinforces our sense of self-worth and diminishes the grip of impostor syndrome.

Join me as we navigate the complexities of impostor syndrome and embark on a journey towards self-acceptance and empowerment.
