First things first, friends: Imposter syndrome is not a thought: “I am an imposter” or a feeling: “I feel like a fake.” It's a circumstance. And if we want to overcome it, we need to understand it…which means clearly identifying it for what it is, which removes SOME of imposter syndrome's power. Think of imposter syndrome as the monster behind your closet door: you sit there, covers pulled up to your chin, staring at it the door. In your mind, the monster (aka, imposter syndrome) keeps getting bigger and bigger and scarier and scarier. Finally, you muster up the courage to walk across the room and open the closet door. And instead of a monster, your cat walks out, looking annoyed that you found their hiding place. Logically, you know that it was never a monster. It was just your cat. Get ready to shine a light on your own imposter syndrome fears and frustrations, and learn what you can do to shut it down for good (mostly).Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:You're new, not fake. Because being a beginner is normal and temporary.You know enough to help someone today even if you don't know everything yet.Do it anyway because confidence comes from taking action, not just learning more."Can I trust you?" is what people really want to know when they ask about your credentials.Learn while you coach instead of waiting until you're "ready" to start helping people.Name the specific thoughts that make you feel like an imposter, then replace them with better ones.Feeling like an imposter means you're growing and pushing beyond what's comfortable.

Physician Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Imposter syndrome is not a personal failing." Jessie explains how self-doubt among physicians is less about individual weakness and more about a conditioned mindset reinforced by medical culture. She describes how hypervigilance, relentless preparation, and constant comparison are framed as excellence but instead fuel overwork, burnout, and compliance with unreasonable demands. Jessie emphasizes that imposter syndrome may benefit productivity in the health care system but comes at a profound cost to physician well-being, sustainability, and patient care. She reframes self-doubt as evidence of growth rather than inadequacy and calls for a cultural shift that stops normalizing imposter syndrome as inevitable in medicine. Listeners will learn how recognizing systemic patterns and reframing self-perceptions can empower clinicians to thrive without sacrificing their health or authenticity.

Access Valora here and get personalised actions for growth > The Truth About Coaching Through Imposter Syndrome So many coaches and consultants encounter clients who hold themselves back—not because they lack skills, but because they quietly believe they don't deserve success. In this episode of The Brilliant Book Festival, I'm joined by Clare Josa, author of Ditching Imposter Syndrome and now her follow-up book: Coaching Imposter Syndrome. Clare has spent more than two decades helping people break free from imposter syndrome. Now her mission is bigger: to equip coaches, consultants and leaders with safe, practical tools to recognise and respond to imposter syndrome when it shows up in their sessions. She also reveals the myths still circulating about imposter syndrome, why it's not the same as self-doubt, and how AI might just play a surprising role in helping people feel more confident and capable. If you've ever wondered how to tell the difference between skills-based self-doubt and deeper identity-level imposter syndrome, this conversation will open your eyes. Prefer to WATCH? https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell “Imposter syndrome isn't a life sentence. It's something you can spot, understand and clear.” – Clare Josa Beyond Self-Doubt: Spotting the Real Signs Clare explains that self-doubt is about skills, while imposter syndrome cuts deeper — it's about identity. Self-doubt sounds like: “I don't know enough, I need more experience.” Imposter syndrome sounds like: “I'm not good enough. They'll find me out.” This distinction matters, because the tools that help with self-doubt often fail when the issue is imposter syndrome. Coaches who miss this can leave clients feeling stuck or even unsafe. The Myths Holding Us Back In recent years, imposter syndrome has gained visibility, but with that has come misinformation. Clare shares how some dismiss it as: “Just self-doubt in disguise.” “A construct designed to hold women back.” Her response? Labels aside, what matters is helping people recognise the patterns keeping them small, and giving them tools to move forward. “Confidence grows fastest when you have the right tools and support at your fingertips.” – Clare Josa Practical Tools for Coaches Clare's new book and app provide 26 simple, safe tools coaches can use the moment imposter syndrome gatecrashes a session. These tools help coaches to: Clear limiting patterns without opening emotional “Pandora's boxes.” Shift their clients mindset fast with confidence and safety. Give coaches clarity on how far to go — and when to signpost deeper support. The goal isn't to turn every coach into an imposter syndrome specialist, but to equip them with the confidence to help clients without overstepping. Imposter Syndrome, Introverts and Change Clare also clears up another myth: imposter syndrome doesn't only affect introverts. Both introverts and extroverts experience it, but they cope differently: Introverts tend to overthink. Extroverts tend to overact. And because imposter syndrome is linked to identity, it often surfaces during times of transition—like stepping into a new role, raising prices, or navigating fast-changing technology. AI as a Confidence Companion Perhaps most intriguing, Clare has developed Ask Clare AI — an app trained on millions of her own words to give coaches, managers and individuals real-time support between sessions. It's not designed to replace the coach, but to act as a safe, trauma-informed resource when self-doubt or fear strikes in the moment. A Final Thought to Reflect On Coaching through imposter syndrome isn't about fixing clients — it's about helping them reconnect with who they really are. When coaches can spot the difference between self-doubt and identity-level struggle, and when they have the tools to guide clients safely through those first steps, everyone benefits. As Clare reminds us, the real goal is bigger than overcoming imposter syndrome. It's about building a world where people feel comfortable in their own skin, confident in their contribution, and free to reach their full potential. So instead of asking, “How do I help my clients push through self-doubt?” try asking, “How can I give them the tools and confidence to break free from imposter syndrome for good?” That small shift in perspective can change not just a coaching session, but the whole trajectory of a client's success.

You already have the expertise. You already have the skills. The only thing holding you back from leadership is waiting for some arbitrary milestone, more followers, or another qualification to “prove” you're ready. In this final episode of the Known series on Big Money Strategies, we talk about becoming the expert you already are — and what shifts when you finally own that role. This is your confidence reset: from quietly doing great work in the background to stepping into thought leadership, claiming your space, and attracting opportunities that match your expertise. We'll explore how to move through imposter syndrome with an evidence-based self-audit, anchor into your power message, and create a vision big enough to carry you into the next 5 years. Because the truth is: you don't need more learning. You need to step up and lead.
The music industry can be hard to navigate, and harder to stomach. Sometimes, the industry seems to magnify all of your biggest insecurities, and the Imposter Syndrome is real.BUT electro-pop artist Robbie Wabi Sabi says that we artists have to stick together, and that you have to be your own biggest fan. You also have to connect meaningfully with your audience.In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Robbie Wabi Sabi, a synthesizer-obsessed drum machine lover who's been writing and producing his own music since the 1980s. While Robbie's career in music has experienced multiple iterations and transformations, he feels like THIS era is his best one yet--in part because of the enthusiasm he has for his own music and for the music community in which he exists and creates. He shares his tips for building self-confidence, keeping oneself relevant, and maintaining joy while creating. He also talks about his latest single, "Beautiful and Nerdy," and tells Emmeline why every Robbie Wabi Sabi show is actually one big party.To learn more about Robbie Wabi Sabi, or to follow his musical journey, find him on Instagram, check him out on YouTube, or stream his music on Spotify.

You're not alone. Up to 70% of professionals experience imposter syndrome at some point, and clergy are especially vulnerable.In this episode, we explore: ✨ What imposter syndrome is and how it shows up in ministry life. ✨ Why clergy are especially prone to self-doubt in a role filled with high expectations, public visibility, and constant comparison. ✨ The unique weight carried by marginalized clergy (women, clergy of color, and LGBTQIA clergy) who don't fit the historic “norm” of what a pastor looks like. ✨ The spiritual cost of imposter syndrome, and what scripture teaches us about leaders who felt inadequate—Moses, Jeremiah, and Paul. ✨ Practical strategies to help you reframe success, celebrate wins, ground yourself spiritually, and build support networks.You'll also hear insights from writers and researchers like Brené Brown and Chanequa Walker-Barnes, reminding us that larger systems often shape self-doubt—and that healing is possible.At the heart of today's conversation is this truth: God's call is bigger than our doubts. You are not an imposter. You are called, equipped, and not alone.

On the surface, many lawyers appear to have it all: partnerships, accolades, case wins, and financial security. Yet behind the polished exterior lies exhaustion, anxiety, and an unshakable sense of emptiness. In this episode, Gary Miles explores what he calls the success paradox: how the very drive and perfectionism that fuel achievement often become the source of stress, burnout, and self-doubt. He shares candid stories from his own career, including the hidden costs of chasing external validation and the personal turning point that reshaped his perspective on law and life. Through vulnerability and hard-earned wisdom, Gary shows how perfectionism can be transformed into sustainable excellence, and how redefining success leads to both professional mastery and personal fulfillment. Practical strategies from his Free Lawyer framework highlight the power of setting boundaries, embracing internal authority, and building a practice that truly serves one's life.

Christy Glass, Professor of Sociology at Utah State University joins Greg and Holly for an open conversation about battling the critic within and addressing what's really behind imposter syndrome… and what you can do to address it.
Are you haunted by that sneaky voice in your head saying, “You don't belong here?” This special encore episode of “Better Than Fine” dives deep into the world of imposter syndrome, offering both real talk and science-backed strategies to help you break free from self-doubt and finally claim your accomplishments. Host Darlene Marshall, certified personal trainer and wellness coach, gets vulnerable as she recounts her first day in the prestigious Masters of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Pennsylvania—and the crushing wave of imposter feelings that hit her. Drawing on personal experience and leading psychological research, Darlene explains why even top achievers struggle with imposter syndrome and how our own attitudes toward success (and even the culture we're in) can feed or starve that inner critic. You'll learn why acknowledging your wins isn't bragging, how comparing yourself to others creates a confidence trap, and what you can do—starting today—to finally break the cycle. Darlene also shares powerful tips, from the latest in positive psychology to practical steps like identifying your unique strengths and embracing the journey instead of perfection. Perfect for fitness professionals, coaches, or anyone battling self-doubt on their career or wellness path, this episode brings relatable stories, fresh insights, and actionable tools you can use right now.

Episode 365: DON DIABLO "The Visionary of Future House on Imposter Syndrome & Humanizing A.I." This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew sits down with future house pioneer @DonDiablo for a deep and personal conversation. At 01:55, Don talks about running on little sleep before his Pier 19 show and why NYC remains his biggest market. By 06:55, he explains why he avoids repeating sets, preferring Tomorrowland's smaller, darker stages over the main stage. At 12:20, Don reflects on his teenage years in the Dutch scene, from being taken advantage of as a young producer to being labeled a “weirdo” by peers. He admits that sometimes he hates being Don Diablo, finding true acceptance only through his fans. At 18:10, he recalls his production roots and the joy of creating purely for fun. By 24:55, the tone shifts as Don shares a powerful story about his father's illness, the lessons from their final conversations, and how this shaped his outlook on time, purpose, and music. He recalls writing songs like “The Artist Inside” as a tribute to his father, and performing it at his funeral, the most difficult moment of his career. At 37:55, Don speaks on the therapeutic nature of songwriting, before offering his perspective on AI at 44:01, viewing it not as a threat, but as a tool to make creativity even more human. Closing out at 1:01:44, Don dives into his Hexagon label, the video for “Anytime”, and the contracts he gave artists.

Join us for another Episode of the Scrap, this time with Marshall Boyd, a 23-year veteran of two small fire departments south of Houston. We discuss imposter syndrome, sharing how he's worked to impact his corner of the fire service despite feeling like “no one from nowhere.” Marshall explores the shift in firefighting tactics over the years, and the process of making the change... from fiberglass poles to modern tools, and the importance of perspective in adapting to change. We discuss and compare career and volunteer firefighting, the mission remains the same regardless of pay. Marshall also covers leadership as influence, especially in volunteer settings where there's no leverage, and why making the job personal drives his work. Expect insights on through-the-lock forcible entry and the challenges of moving from the truck to the buggy. And as always... our best laid plans were beautifully derailed by the awesome questions from the live audience!!!!
