Jonathan and I unpack imposter syndrome, why it shows up even when you’re successful, and how it keeps you trapped in the exhausting loop of proving yourself. We explore the psychology behind feeling like a fraud, the relationship between perfectionism and the fear of failure, and how to shift from self-criticism to mindful self-compassion. You’ll learn practical ways to collect evidence of your success, challenge limiting assumptions, and lead your business from a place of abundance and peace instead of fear. 📝 Top 3 Takeaways from the Episode: Imposter Syndrome is rooted in big assumptions that keep you proving yourself. Even with evidence of success, your brain hunts for flaws to confirm the story that you’re not enough. When you spot those patterns, you can rewrite them and finally lead from abundance instead of fear. Growth requires a healthy relationship with failure. Perfectionism convinces you that mistakes are dangerous, but failure is just feedback. When you see it as data, not a verdict, you create space to stretch past your perceived ceiling and find peace in your own growth. Knowing you’re enough is the foundation of sustainable success. When you stop trying to earn your place and start trusting your value, everything changes. Receiving praise, help, or payment isn’t arrogance, t’s alignment. 🎧 Podcast episodes related to this one that might interest you: Episode 30: When Opportunity Knocks and You’re Not Ready Episode 19: What Mindfulness Actually is and How to Use It Daily Episode 17: The Journey to Release Shame Wondering how coaching could support you?
