Imposter syndrome doesn’t just show up in the boardroom — it shows up at the starting line, in training cycles, and anytime we try something bigger than what we’ve done before.

In this episode, Jill is joined by Sharon from Bib and Tiara to talk candidly about imposter syndrome in endurance sports, careers, and life. They explore how comparison, gatekeeping, and external validation can undermine confidence, why women experience imposter syndrome differently, and how environments like runDisney and Ironman create very different feelings of “belonging.”

Along the way, they dive into:

• Why imposter syndrome often appears when growth is happening
• Endurance sports as identity, therapy, and personal challenge
• The role of failure — and why it’s not the opposite of success
• How community, mentorship, and encouragement change everything

Whether you’re training for a race, navigating a career move, or questioning your place in a new space, this episode is a reminder: belonging isn’t earned by perfection — it’s claimed by showing up.
