“Fake it ’til you make it.” Is it a valuable mindset hack for overcoming imposter syndrome — or does it make you feel like a fraud? In this episode, Jonathan and I break down the real intention behind the phrase, how to recognize when you’re using it productively versus deceptively, and how to find the angle that’s true for you so you can lead with integrity and alignment.
📝 Top 3 Takeaways from the Episode:
“Fake it till you make it” is about practice, not pretending. We unpack the real origin of the phrase as a way to practice new, healthy behaviors before they feel natural in recovery communities. It’s not about pretending you’re someone you’re not; it’s about embodying the habits and mindset of who you’re becoming.
2. The difference between alignment and manipulation. If “faking it” feels deceptive, that’s a signal you’re out of alignment. Authentic confidence grows when your actions match your values, even if you’re stretching into a new identity. Manipulation and posturing, on the other hand, create dissonance and others will pick up on it too.
3. Find your true angle.You don’t need to have all the answers. Reframe “fake it” as “find the version of this that’s true for me right now.” When you anchor in authenticity and intention, you naturally show up with the confidence, credibility, and energy that attract trust.
