Have you ever walked into a room—real or virtual—and instantly felt like you didn't belong?Maybe you worried you weren't experienced enough.Or that everyone else had it more “together” than you.Or that you'd come off too much… or not enough.That's imposter syndrome. That's insecurity. And if you're a coach, expert, or service-based business owner, these sneaky mindset patterns can quietly sabotage your visibility, income, and confidence—no matter how talented or qualified you are.In this episode, I'm sharing how to move through imposter syndrome and step into what I call your I'm a Big Deal energy—because that's what it takes to grow a coaching or service-based business that's profitable, impactful, and aligned with your purpose.This conversation was inspired by a retreat I just attended where I showed up as me—fully expressed, grounded, and in my power—and walked away with incredible opportunities. Not because I was faking it, but because I owned my Genius Edge and allowed myself to be seen.Inside the episode, I share:How insecurity shows up in entrepreneurship (and why it's not just a “newbie” thing)What it really looks like to lead with your confidence and clarity—without ego or performanceWhy your mindset and energy matter more than your business cards, website, or follower countHow to prep yourself to show up powerfully at events, workshops, networking, and even onlineWhy community, collaboration, and being in the room are essential for sustainable growthMy favorite mindset practice for stepping into your “big deal” energy before you show upThis is a must-listen if you're ready to stop playing small, start showing up fully, and finally own your place in the world as a coach, healer, or creative entrepreneur.You don't need to become someone else to grow your business.You just need to claim the version of you that's already ready.And YES—we're going to help you step into that version of yourself at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE: Your Genius Edge, happening October 17 & 18 in NYC.This episode will show you why being seen matters—and how to start showing up as the leader you already are.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

Business coach Angie Callen shares how creative entrepreneurs can overcome perfectionism and imposter syndrome by embracing authenticity, focusing on serving clients rather than impressing peers, and implementing practical time and energy management strategies. Key Takeaways Successful entrepreneurship is 80% mindset and 20% everything else - being willing to get vulnerable and step in front of the camera is essential for video pros who want to build trust Focus on creating content for your potential clients rather than worrying what your peers will think - "generosity is the opposite of comparison" and collaboration beats competition Manage both your time AND energy by implementing theme days, time blocking, and scheduling your most challenging tasks during your peak energy hours About Angie Callen Angie Callen is an award-winning coach, international speaker, and obsessive entrepreneur who loves empowering others to lead amazing lives with thriving careers, all while embracing authenticity.  She's a Carnegie Mellon graduate and former engineer known for her strategic, analytical, yet creative approach to marketing, sales, and business growth.

Perfectionism will hold you back more than it will push you forward, especially in entrepreneurship... The best antidote to the imposter syndrome is action." - Angie Callen "Your relationship, your personal relationship, your spouse, the person you choose to do life with will have just as much, if not more impact on the success of your business as you, because if you do not have a supportive one, you will not be successful." - Angie Callen "I think successful entrepreneurship is 80% mindset and 20% everything else. Because if your headspace isn't there and you don't have a little of that grit and a little of that conviction around what you're doing, the roller coaster of ups and downs... is going to make you real sick real fast." - Angie Callen "From a bigger picture strategy perspective, focus on one thing at a time, chunk it down because growing a business is a giant amorphous blob that is really hard to make sense of." - Angie Callen Guest Links Find Angie Callen online Listen to the No More Mondays podcast Learn more about The Modern Coach community Follow Career Benders on Instagram | Facebook Follow Angie Callen on Instagram Links Stop hiding and start showing up; learn more about the Video Cohort Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes

Ever felt like you're the only one in the room who doesn't quite belong, even though you've earned your seat a hundred times over? As a young woman navigating leadership roles in male-dominated industries, on a whole new continent, no less, Sue Musson quickly realized that confidence doesn't always come easy, and it definitely isn't always welcomed.

In this episode, Phil and Salvatore Manzi delve into the art of communication, particularly in educational settings. They discuss the significance of building trust through authentic communication, the importance of engaging introductions, and the impact of presence on audience perception.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.  I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Let's be honest: perfectionism used to work. It helped you over-deliver, hide your self-doubt, and push through the pressure. But now? It's burning you out. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how perfectionism really shows up, especially for high-achievers who've been hustling their whole careers. I share how I used it to mask my ADHD, imposter syndrome, and fear of being “found out”… and why it stopped working. You'll learn 3 practical, slightly uncomfortable, totally liberating tactics I've used myself (and with clients) to shift out of perfectionist mode and get more done, with less mental drama. In this episode, I riff on: ↠ The real reason you're procrastinating (hint: it's not laziness) ↠ Why “done is better than perfect” is more than just a quote ↠ How to let go of gold-plating your work without lowering your standards ↠ What happens when you try B-minus work, and no one notices

In Ephesians, we see a powerful message about finding our true identity in Christ while standing firm in spiritual battles. This sermon shines a spotlight on Ephesians 6, urging us to recognize we inhabit not just a playground of faith, but a battleground where forces beyond our sight wage war against our destiny. Through personal stories of supernatural encounters, reminders of God's power, and scriptural truth, we learn that the key to victory is standing firm in God's strength, rather than our own.
