Did you know that it is common to experience imposter syndrome, especially in the Latina community?

Imposter syndrome can keep us from achieving big goals, but we can also feel it when we experience success. It happens when we feel like we don't deserve success or that we have not really earned it. We can feel like a fraud, and find ourselves with tremendous self-doubt.
In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It! episode, I share my experience with imposter syndrome when I was in disbelief that NASA contacted me to do a workshop for parents during the pandemic. I remember it like it was yesterday. I literally thought the email I received from NASA was a fraudulent email, only to discover it really was from NASA! I share the entire story on this episode.

What shifted me out of the imposter syndrome and back into the reality that this was a legitimate opportunity, was dropping into my heart. Dropping into your HEART is a powerful tool for conquering Imposter Syndrome. This tool gets us out of our brains and back into our bodies. It shifts the focus from trying to "prove" to ourselves that we Belong, to FEELING like we Belong.
In this episode - I cover three ways you can practice dropping into your heart:

  1. Connecting with your Ancestors, and the love they have for you, like writing them a letter.
  2. Picture the face of someone who you unconditionally love.
  3. Recalling the last time you felt love, joy, or peace.

When you drop into your heart, you remember the power of who you really are. The answers you are searching for are available to you. You just have to get out of your head and into your heart. Practicing dropping into your heart on a regular basis is a game changer for conquering Imposter Syndrome.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Understanding why imposter syndrome is a common experience, especially in the Latina community.
  • How I was able to book a large speaking gig at NASA!
  • Why you deserve that seat at the table, even if your brain is giving you other thoughts.
  • How dropping into your heart can help you combat imposter syndrome.
  • Where to find the answers that you are looking for.
  • Why conquering Imposter syndrome comes from managing your feelings
  • How to move energetically from your brain to your heart.
