Episode 5: Why You Will Always Have Imposter Syndrome (& Why That's Actually GOOD!)
In 2020, I interviewed a woman making a million dollars a year in her therapy practice and I was SPEECHLESS. Six years later, my own practice will hit 1.1 million this year... and I keep telling myself I just got lucky. That's imposter syndrome. And here's the thing: it never fully goes away, and I'm actually going to make the case that this is a GOOD thing. In this episode, I walk through the three lies women CEOs tell themselves about their own success, what the truth actually is, and why feeling like an imposter might be the best sign your business is headed exactly where you want it to go.
In This Episode
The interview that left me speechless in 2020... and why I'm now dismissing the exact same thing in myself
Where imposter syndrome actually comes from (coined in 1978 studying high-achieving women... surprise, surprise)
The three lies: 'I just got lucky,' 'anyone could have done this,' and 'I'm not ready' ... and the truth you can say back to each one
Why only 1.9% of women ever hit seven figures in revenue, and what that means about you being in that room
Why community at this level isn't a nice-to-have... it's a BUSINESS TOOL
My 'grow or die' philosophy... and why I keep saying it even though I know some of you hate it
Take Action
Think of something you've built, led, or accomplished in your business that you've been dismissing or not celebrating. Now ask yourself: if a woman you admire had done the exact same thing, wouldn't you think she was remarkable? Give yourself that same credit, out loud, and then actually do something to celebrate it this week.
