Do you ever feel like a fraud, despite your accomplishments—and fear one day someone will "find you out"? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck.

Impostor syndrome affects up to 80% of professionals—and hits ambitious leaders the hardest. It shows up in meetings, decisions, promotions, and performance, quietly undermining your confidence. In this episode, we unpack what impostor syndrome really is and offer a toolkit of strategies to help you lead with clarity and courage.

• Learn the psychological roots of impostor syndrome and how to reframe it as a sign of growth, not inadequacy.
• Discover why “fake it till you make it” backfires—and what to replace it with instead.
• Explore how impostor syndrome impacts women differently, and how everyone can take concrete steps to reclaim their leadership confidence.

Listen now to stop second-guessing yourself and start building a more grounded, authentic leadership presence.
