• Imposter syndrome - How to curb the inner gremlins that keep you small
    May 15 2024

    In this episode, we tackle imposter syndrome, or as I like to call it, your "inner gremlins." These are the voices that self-sabotage and keep you from achieving your goals. I've personally struggled with this for so long and understand how it can sneak in unexpectedly. Whether you're questioning your worthiness for a new job or doubting your expertise on social media, these inner critics can be relentless.

    I'll share specific techniques I've used and taught others to navigate these feelings. From naming your inner critics to visualising them stepping off your stage, you'll learn how to take back control. We'll discuss how imposter syndrome often leads to procrastination and fear of failure, and I'll provide practical tips to overcome these hurdles.

    Remember, it's your stage and your life. You're the main character. Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow and level up. Wear that lifelong learner hat and see every situation as a chance to improve.

    Join me for an empowering conversation to kick imposter syndrome to the curb. You've got this!

    Key Points:

    • Understanding imposter syndrome and its impact
    • Practical techniques to navigate your inner critics
    • Embracing challenges for personal and professional growth
    • Encouragement to take courageous action and overcome self-doubt

    Tune in and learn how to reclaim your stage and silence those inner gremlins!

    My goal is to help inspire others to unlock their potential, achieve big crazy goals and live their best life. I'm on a mission to be your ultimate hype woman.
