In this episode I’m talking about something that I think almost all of us experience at some point… imposter syndrome.

I share some of my own experiences with it throughout my career – moments where I genuinely felt like I didn’t belong, where self-doubt felt crippling, and times where I questioned whether I was even good enough to be in the room. Even at conferences where we got photos with people in my industry and I thought “why am I here? I’m not as popular as them.”

Perfectionism has played a big role in this for me too. For a long time I felt like I was never doing enough, which probably pushed me to constantly throw myself out of my comfort zone and chase trophies.

I also talk about something that has really helped me when those thoughts creep in - something I call “evidence over emotion.” When imposter syndrome shows up, I challenge those thoughts by asking myself what the actual evidence is. Usually I realise that it’s just emotion making me feel that way, not the truth.

Even when I was winning awards, the imposter feelings didn’t just disappear. But the more you do the thing you doubt yourself in, the more that inner critic starts to quiet down.

I even felt this when I became an educator. I remember telling my mentor that I didn’t even know if I was good enough to teach. I was full of self doubt… but I kept going anyway, and eventually went on to win Best Masterclass of 2025. It was the feedback from students that really helped me realise that maybe I was doing a better job than I thought.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not good enough, like you don’t belong, or like people might question why it’s you… you’re definitely not alone.

Most people experience imposter syndrome at some point.

Just remember - you’re not here to impress anyone. You’re here to share what you know and do your best. And sometimes your best might only be 50 or 60%, because we’re human and we can’t be at 100% all the time.

You are worthy.
You are enough.
And you can do anything you put your mind to.

If you’re someone who is struggling with self doubt, consumed by negative thoughts. This episode is for you.
