Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “I don’t belong here… I’m not good enough… Sooner or later, they’ll find out I’m a fraud”? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, research shows that most high-achieving professionals experience imposter syndrome at some point in their careers

In this episode of The Art and Science of Thriving, I dive into the science behind imposter syndrome — what it really is, why it shows up most often when we’re growing, and how you can use neuroscience and psychology-backed tools to reframe those thoughts so they no longer hold you back.

You’ll learn:

• Why imposter syndrome happens and how your brain is wired to trigger these thoughts in moments of growth.
• The identity gap — why your achievements often feel out of sync with how you see yourself.
• Practical, science-backed strategies to reframe self-doubt into confidence and contribution.
• How leaders can spot imposter syndrome in their teams — and simple steps to help staff turn it into fuel for growth.

Most importantly, you’ll walk away with a proven framework — Awareness, Reframing, and Action — that helps you move past the inner critic and channel imposter feelings into motivation and thriving.
