Podcasts about imposter syndrome

Your body is talking to your brain constantly, telling it either 'I'm safe' or 'I'm not safe.' The posture you default to when no one's watching might be the thing keeping you stuck. Amy Cuddy, the social psychologist behind one of the most-watched TED Talks ever, sat down to unpack what actually builds confidence when the world feels unstable. She talks about the difference between faking it and becoming it, why imposter syndrome hits 75-85% of people, and why the bullies who came after her post-TED fame taught her more about personal power than the research ever did. You'll hear about the exact breathing pattern she uses before high-stakes moments, the simple writing exercise that beats any pep talk, and why she thinks reframing anxiety as excitement changes everything. There's also a story about a nurse named Alex Wubbels who got thrown against a wall for doing the right thing, and what that taught Amy about the kind of bravery that has no glory attached to it. This conversation will make you rethink every time you've shrunk yourself to avoid being noticed. Sit up straight, not for anyone else, but because you deserve the respect you keep giving away. Bullied: The Culture of Cruelty and the Surprising Power of Social Bravery Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges Amy's website Amy on Instagram Amy on LinkedIn Amy's TED Talk In this episode you will: Reclaim your sense of personal power using postural feedback and 4-7-8 breathing before high-stakes moments Rewrite the self-doubt that keeps you silent by practicing self-affirmation theory rooted in your core values Transform pre-performance anxiety into excitement using Alison Wood Brooks's reframing research Discover why bumblers earn more trust than pointers when things go wrong in public Overcome imposter syndrome by shifting focus from how you're judged to how you can serve others Draw the line between confidence and arrogance so self-belief fuels you instead of blinding you For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1973 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

have a wonderful repeat guest, Anna Runyan, this week on the show! I always learn something from Anna, and this show is no different. I see Anna as my brave big sister in business, and she has taken brave leaps personally, too. For example, as you will hear, she moved with her family to Europe for a year, which is on my bucket list! Either way, Anna represents not following the traditional path to me. She is someone that took an intentional look at her life and work and purposefully decided to build her personal and professional life on her own terms. When I was pregnant with my first child, like so many of us, I tried to fit my growing family into my existing work instead of the other way around. Anna was like, “Nope!” This isn't for me. There must be a better way. And she found it and now helps others with that same dream. So, if you are a closet dreamer of a better way to live and work, this show is for you!During our podcast, Anna and I chatted about:The story behind her company Classy Career GirlHer learnings traveling nomadically as a family and when she realized she wanted to come back to the U.S. and settle in FloridaHow did Imposter Syndrome or (phenomenon) show up for Anna as she was building her businessWhat Classy Career Girl offers and what's next for her companyHere is more about Anna:Anna is the creator of The Corporate Rescue Plan and The Classy Career Girl® Certified Career Coach Program. She is a former corporate consultant turned entrepreneur. Her website was picked as one of Forbes Top 100 Websites For Women and one of Forbes 35 Most Influential Career Sites. She's been featured on Fox, The Wall Street Journal and People StyleWatch magazine. Anna was nominated as San Diego Magazine's Woman of the Year and her podcast was named as Yahoo's 10 Best Podcasts.Prior to founding Classy Career Girl in 2010, Anna worked for Booz Allen Hamilton where she spent 8 years managing a client delivery team and managed a $75M annual U.S. Navy budget. She was a Certified Adjunct Instructor at Booz Allen Hamilton and a Professor of Management at DeVry University. She received her MBA from University of California, San Diego and after a year of traveling around Europe with her husband and three daughters, she now lives in Florida.Before we begin, please be sure to share this show with a family member, friend or colleague.

In this episode: I'm talking about the wrong way I was doing this podcast from scheduling when to work on it, to how seriously to treat it, to realizing I need to freaking relax and come here as myself, an AuDHD perimenopausal woman. And I fell into what I think is accidental genius when I said, "Just because you have EXTRA (time, money, bandwith, etc.) doesn't mean you have to GIVE IT AWAY.

Imposter syndrome is something the vast majority of us deal with. But is it actually there to help us?

Getting sober often comes with a big identity shift. We go from our love of drinking feeling like a huge part of our identity, to now sobriety being a big part of our identity. And with that shift, many of us experience imposter syndrome as we step into our sober lives. Do I really belong here? Did I really qualify for sobriety? Was I really that bad? Who am I now that I'm sober? If you're struggling with any of these questions, this conversation with my mom will be an incredibly helpful one!Join my community, the Happiest Sober Hub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to my newsletter for FREE sober tips & inspo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop sober mugs & merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch my sober vlogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop my Amazon storefront⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy favourite things⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If my content has helped you on your sober journey and you'd like to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.Thank you for supporting my podcast by supporting my sponsors!

You can't manifest a new life while you're still living inside an old identity. Transformational coach and hypnotherapist Jim Curtis has worked with entrepreneurs and public figures on the pattern behind their stuck points. He calls it release, align, become, a framework built to break the subconscious programming running your life. It starts with forgiveness. Not the version where you forgive everyone else. The version where you look yourself in the mirror and say I'm sorry first. Your subconscious can't build a life it doesn't believe you deserve. Chase the money or the relationship hard enough without changing the belief underneath it, and it finds a way to hand it back. This episode gets into imposter syndrome in high achievers, the Three Gs of grounding, giving, and gratitude, and the exact prayer Jim uses to settle his own fear. You'll want a mirror by the end of it. Pre-order Jim's New Book: The Book of Possibility The Stimulati Experience: 9 Skills for Getting Past Pain, Setbacks, and Trauma to Ignite Health and Happiness Jim's Website Jim on Instagram In this episode you will: Learn the release, align, become framework Jim Curtis uses to help people rewire their identity and finally get unstuck Discover why forgiving yourself first, using the Ho'oponopono prayer, can unlock what years of goal setting couldn't  Understand the Three Gs, grounding, giving, and gratitude, and why Jim says they're the real key to receiving wealth Recognize the confidence gap and imposter syndrome that quietly runs even the most outwardly successful people Explore how a hidden subconscious belief will sabotage your success until you release the identity behind it For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1971 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

In this special episode we go behind the scenes with memoirist Deepa Paul, essayist, cookbook author Gina Beach, and novelist Daisy Buchanan and talk about the two things that keep them going: the passion behind the work, and the practice that makes the work possible. From an essay that no editor wanted to a Women's Prize-longlisted memoir, a personal research rabbit hole that became a four-year book project, and the journey from idea to novel, this is a personal conversation with three writers about about why they write the things they write — and what kept them going. You'll learn Why an essay no editor wanted a decade ago turned out not to be an essay at all. How to break a book into tasks small enough to finish inside a single hour. The case for treating your own interior life as seriously as any grand subject. How a rabbit hole of personal research turned into a four-year book project. Why the hardest part of self-publishing has nothing to do with production. When procrastination is doing useful work, and when it's just filling the gaps. What changes in your writing once you stop trying to get it right. A reason to stop measuring a writing session by its word count. How sitting alongside other writers quietly rearranges your sense of your own work. The tidal metaphor that makes a bad writing day easier to let go of.

Have you ever achieved something big and, instead of feeling proud, felt like an imposter? Imposter syndrome is common, yet no one wants to talk about it. But imposter syndrome isn't necessarily a bad thing. And there are steps you can take when you experience it to ensure that it doesn't become an obstacle. Some of the things I talk about today are: The invitation-only event I earned my way into—and how I still questioned if I belonged. Why imposter syndrome doesn't go away even when you have concrete proof you are good at what you do. The sneaky credit trap and why it matters. Why your self-image can lag years behind your actual life and the only thing that actually updates it. Why the feeling itself isn't the real problem—and the specific things people do to manage it that costs them. Four things that actually help when you experience imposter syndrome.

What if the self-doubt holding you back isn't proof of failure, but evidence of growth?In the most recent HR Leaders Podcast episode, I had an important conversation with Maharukh Dalal, founder of The Career Accelerator for Women by Maharukh Dalal. She explains how senior leaders can overcome imposter syndrome by closing the internal identity gap, reframing self-doubt into a signal of growth, and shifting self-perception to drive executive execution.Drawing on two decades of corporate leadership across finance and hospitality, Dalal explains how mindset precedes execution. This conversation offers senior HR and business leaders a clear playbook for mastering the mental side of executive performance.5 things you'll learn from this episode:The psychological gap that stops capable leaders from taking actionA simple two-word shift that instantly turns daily dread into agency What a 1980 university experiment reveals about how people actually perceive you The advice Rafael Nadal's coach gave him during his worst slump that applies to executives Why relying purely on willpower and discipline eventually fails even top performers

Did you get the promotion and immediately start wondering if they made a mistake? Do you feel like a fraud in your own role, waiting for someone to figure out you don't belong? Are you a newly promoted manager who's carrying this quietly, convinced no one else in leadership feels the way you feel right now? The Leader I Needed is the podcast for the promoted professional who has the title but not the tools. Every episode is an honest, people-first conversation about what it actually takes to lead. That includes the private battles no one prepares you for. I'm James Rosseau Sr., and I've spent 20-plus years in corporate leadership at companies like JPMorgan Chase, Allstate, and LegalShield. I've led teams of 40 in New York City. I've been the youngest at the table more times than I can count. And I've dealt with imposter syndrome at every level, including the ones that looked most impressive from the outside. This show is the one I needed back then, built for the leader you're becoming right now. If you're ready to stop carrying this in silence and start leading with the clarity and confidence your team needs, subscribe now and let's do this together. Grab your coffee, close the office door, and let's get to work.

Lu brought the topic this week — and it's one of the most universally felt things in audio that nobody talks about directly: the feeling of not belonging in the room. Not because you don't have the skill. Not because you don't have the credits. Just because the feeling is there, and most people let it make the decision for them.The episode opens with Lu sharing what he keeps hearing in consultation calls — talented engineers at every level passing on sessions they would have handled just fine, because they didn't feel ready. Dee and Lu are direct about it: the gap between someone who is working and someone who isn't is almost never the quality of their mixing. It's almost always confidence and forward motion. They unpack what imposter syndrome actually looks like at different stages of a career — not just at the beginning, but also at the mid-level, when asking for help or shadowing someone starts to feel embarrassing in a way that holds people back just as much.From there, Dee reads from Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow — specifically the chapter on cognitive priming — and the episode gets genuinely fascinating. He walks through the Florida Effect study, where participants subconsciously primed with age-related words actually walked slower down a hallway without knowing it. Then the pencil experiment, where people forced into a smile by how they held a pencil in their teeth rated cartoons as funnier than those forced into a frown — without being aware their facial expression had changed at all. The implication is direct: acting calm and confident doesn't just make you look calm and confident to others. It statistically makes you feel calmer and more confident yourself.The conversation also takes an unexpected turn into money priming — how the mere presence of money-related imagery in your environment makes people measurably more independent, more self-reliant, and also more selfish and socially distant — and what that means for the environments engineers build and the mindsets they carry into sessions.It ends where it started: the feeling of not belonging is not evidence of not belonging. Send the email. Ask to sit in. Shadow the session. The only thing making the street look longer than it is, is you.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

What happens when you achieve the kind of success most people only dream about… but still feel empty inside?In this deeply moving and inspiring episode, I sit down with Machan Taylor to talk about inner healing, identity, authenticity, and the tension between outward success and inner struggle. Machan is a vocalist, recording artist, performer, composer, educator, and author whose extraordinary career took her to the highest levels of the music industry, performing with legendary artists including Pink Floyd, Sting, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, and George Benson.You can learn more about Machan at Machan Taylor's official website and connect with her on Facebook and Instagram.Machan shares her remarkable life story beginning in post-war Japan, where her parents met while her father was serving as a soldier during World War II and her mother performed as a singer in an officers' club. Japanese was Machan's first language, but when her family immigrated to the United States when she was just four years old, she experienced a profound sense of loss. Suddenly she was separated from her home, her culture, her language, her grandmother, and the people she loved most.As she tried to adapt to life in America, she also faced discrimination and judgment because of her Japanese heritage. Feeling like she didn't fully belong, Machan learned to bury her emotions and hide parts of herself in order to survive.Years later, she found herself touring the world with Pink Floyd, surrounded by private jets, luxury hotels, and cheering crowds. From the outside, it looked like she had everything. But internally, she struggled with deep feelings of emptiness, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome. Like many people carrying unresolved pain, she turned to alcohol and drugs to numb the hurt.Machan's powerful new memoir, Naked Out Loud, is a courageous invitation to authenticity and vulnerability. It is the story of reclaiming her voice, embracing her identity, and learning that true healing comes not from perfection or performance, but from honesty and self-acceptance.In this conversation, Machan speaks with extraordinary grace and wisdom about race, trauma, silence, reinvention, healing, and the courage it takes to say: “This is the real me.”After an incredible performing career, Machan returned to school to earn both her bachelor's and master's degrees, and she now teaches voice and performance at New York University. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that it is never too late to rediscover yourself, heal old wounds, and step fully into your authentic voice.In this episode, we discuss:The emotional impact of immigration, loss, and cultural displacementThe hidden pain behind outward successMasking, imposter syndrome, and the fear of not belongingAddiction as an attempt to numb emotional painThe courage to be authentic and vulnerableHealing from trauma and reclaiming your identityThe importance of finding and using your true voiceReinvention, personal growth, and inner healingIf you've ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself to be accepted, or if you've struggled with the disconnect between outer achievement and inner peace, this episode will deeply resonate with you.Please share this episode with someone who may need encouragement, healing, or hope today.Listen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

Send us Fan MailBetrayal can make you doubt more than your partner. It can make you doubt your own instincts, your memories, your body, and even your identity. I'm Jen, and today I'm naming a pattern I see all the time in infidelity recovery and divorce healing: imposter syndrome after betrayal. That quiet fear that you're not enough, that you missed something obvious, or that you're somehow a fraud because your marriage looked “fine” from the outside. We unpack what imposter syndrome really is, why social media and comparison fuel it, and how cheating creates the perfect storm for self-doubt. I share the apples and oranges truth that stops the affair-partner comparison spiral, plus a simple way to separate the facts of betrayal from the painful story we add on top. We also talk about why you don't have to believe what a lying spouse says about you, and why proving your worth is a trap especially if you're considering reconciliation. You'll leave with practical journaling prompts and new thoughts to keep in your back pocket, along with a stronger focus on rebuilding self-trust, regulating your nervous system, and choosing boundaries that protect your healing.

Episode Description:Mike Massimino's path to space was not a straight line. It was a long series of obstacles, failures, second attempts, and decisions not to quit.In this From the Archive conversation, James talks with Mike about his memoir Spaceman, his two shuttle missions to service the Hubble Space Telescope, his career at NASA, his work at Columbia, and the deeper lessons behind becoming an astronaut.Mike explains that spaceflight may look impossibly complex from the outside, but NASA makes it possible through preparation, checklists, training, repetition, and teamwork. In space, even the hardest work has structure. Back on Earth, ordinary life can sometimes feel harder because there is no checklist for getting through the day.James and Mike talk about the view of Earth from orbit and why Mike's first reaction after a spacewalk was: “The Earth is a planet.” From space, Earth no longer looks like a safe, permanent background. It looks like a fragile home traveling through a dangerous universe.The conversation then moves back to Mike's childhood. He watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon and saw the New York Mets win the World Series in 1969, but he did not believe becoming an astronaut was realistic. Astronauts seemed like superheroes. It felt like something other people did.Still, the dream stayed with him.Mike describes failing his PhD qualifying exam at MIT, being told he might not be suited for the program, and deciding to try again anyway. He talks about applying to NASA four times, being rejected, failing the medical exam because of his eyesight, and then doing the seemingly impossible: training his eyes to pass the standard without surgery.For James, this becomes the central lesson. Most people would have accepted medical disqualification as proof that the dream was over. Mike saw it as another obstacle.The episode also explores what “the right stuff” really means. Mike pushes back against the old image of the astronaut as a lone, fearless test pilot. The real right stuff, he says, is whether someone can be trusted with your life. Can they work on a team? Will they help when you need help? Will they ask for help when they need it?Near the end, James identifies another pattern in Mike's life: he may not have been the best at any single thing, but he became unusually good at a combination of things. Astronaut. Engineer. Spacewalker. Teacher. Communicator. Author. Public face for science. That combination made him uniquely valuable.The result is a conversation about space, but also about persistence, meaning, teamwork, and the improbable path from childhood dream to real achievement.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to NASA programs, the Space Launch System, Orion, Commercial Crew, SpaceX, Boeing, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, the shuttle program, and Mike's recent book activity reflect the original recording period.What You'll Learn:Why astronauts rely so heavily on checklists, procedures, training, and team support.How the view of Earth from space changed Mike Massimino's relationship to the planet.Why Mike believes life likely exists somewhere else in the universe.What the Hubble Deep Field revealed about galaxies hiding in a seemingly empty patch of sky.Why childhood dreams can matter even when they seem impossible.How Mike decided which dreams were worth paying the price to pursue.Why failing at MIT did not end his path to NASA.How he handled repeated NASA rejections.Why failing the astronaut eye exam became one of the defining obstacles of his life.How Mike trained his eyes to pass NASA's vision requirements.Why the most successful people are not people who never fail.What “the right stuff” means beyond bravery, intelligence, or physical ability.Why teamwork, trust, and character matter so much in spaceflight.How imposter syndrome can change when you understand your role on a team.Why the odds only become zero when you give up.How private space companies could expand access to space.Timestamped Chapters:[04:53] NASA Checklists vs. Normal LifeMike explains why complex work in space can feel simpler than ordinary life when training, procedures, and support are in place.[07:13] Training for Spacewalks UnderwaterJames asks about NASA's massive training pool, full-scale mockups, and how closely underwater training matches a real spacewalk.[08:33] The Overwhelming View of EarthMike says the work itself is trained into you, but the view of the planet from space is impossible to fully prepare for.[09:16] “The Earth Is a Planet”Mike describes seeing Earth as a fragile home surrounded by the rest of the universe.[11:32] Is There Life Somewhere Else?Mike explains why Hubble's view of billions of galaxies makes it hard for him to believe Earth is the only place with life.[12:27] Why Hubble MattersJames and Mike talk about Hubble's images, the telescope's cultural impact, and why servicing it mattered.[14:03] The Hubble Deep FieldMike explains how Hubble found galaxies in a patch of sky that had seemed empty.[15:33] The Kid Who Wanted to Be an AstronautJames rewinds to Mike's childhood: Neil Armstrong, the 1969 Mets, bad eyesight, fear of heights, and an impossible dream.[18:10] Losing Touch With the DreamMike reflects on how people can talk themselves out of what they really love because the path looks too hard.[18:28] Failing at MITJames compares his own graduate-school failure to Mike's decision to keep going after failing his PhD qualifying exam.[20:43] Which Dreams Are Worth the Cost?Mike explains how he knew acting was interesting but space was something he was willing to suffer for.[23:20] Meaning, Public Service, and the Book's Real ThemesMike says Spaceman became about dreams, persistence, the wonder of space, and the value of doing work that serves something larger.[26:29] Interest Plus MeaningJames identifies the pattern in Mike's decisions: he pursued the work that combined personal interest with deeper purpose.[28:00] Finding the Path When There Is No MapMike explains why he chose to keep pursuing his PhD even though there were other possible routes to NASA.[30:06] Thirty Seconds of RegretMike remembers the advice to give yourself a short period of regret after failure, then move on.[31:19] The People Who Never Let Failure Stop ThemMike says the most successful people he has met are not people who never fail, but people who refuse to be stopped by failure.[35:20] Failing the NASA Eye ExamJames asks about the obstacle that seemed impossible to fix: Mike's eyesight.[36:35] Applying to NASA Four TimesMike describes two early rejections, one interview, a failed medical exam, and the long road toward another chance.[39:10] “How Could I Have Given Up?”Mike explains why he could live with NASA saying no, but not with himself giving up.[40:28] Training His Eyes to See BetterMike finds a doctor, works through vision training, and eventually improves enough to pass the acuity requirement.[41:27] Getting to Space Was Not the EndJames notes that even after becoming an astronaut, Mike faced more setbacks, including the Columbia tragedy and the uncertainty around later Hubble missions.[43:07] Knowing When a Chapter Is OverMike explains why he eventually felt satisfied with his astronaut career and ready for the next phase.[43:48] Imposter Syndrome and TeamworkMike describes feeling like an imposter at MIT and NASA, and how belonging to a team helped him understand what he could contribute.[46:16] Redefining “The Right Stuff”James and Mike discuss why the real astronaut test is not swagger, but trust, character, and whether someone has your back.[49:11] Would You Trust This Person With Your Life?Mike explains the qualities NASA looks for beyond credentials: teamwork, reliability, humility, and character.[54:02] The Fourth Theme: Combinations of SkillJames points out that Mike's power came from combining many abilities: astronaut, engineer, spacewalker, teacher, communicator, and author.[57:26] The Right Person Because He Wouldn't Give UpMike says he may not have been the best spacewalker, but he was the person who would not quit when the Hubble repair became difficult.[01:00:14] The Odds Are Never Zero Until You QuitMike explains that near-impossible is not impossible—and the only way the chance disappears completely is if you give up.[01:01:05] The Future of SpaceflightMike talks about NASA, the International Space Station, Commercial Crew, SpaceX, Boeing, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, and private citizens in space.Additional Resources:Mike Massimino Official WebsiteMike Massimino BiographySpaceman by Mike MassiminoMike Massimino at Columbia

Today is different. Today I simply speak life into all you business owners or business dreamers out there. This is for you. Because I know you can do this - and you're just getting started, my friend.

I have been schooled in the best way. I learned something so valuable during my conversation with my guest, Nicole Pulliam. You know how everyone (including me) has referenced Imposter Syndrome as well, a syndrome? What if the original researchers on the topic never intended for it to be called that? What if it was really called Imposter Phenomenon. We could do a whole podcast on why it was changed from phenomenon to syndrome, but the gist is that with a syndrome, we can tend to blame ourselves and think we are inherently wrong or bad. With imposter phenomenon, we take the imposter outside of ourselves and into the environment. What in the environment triggered us to feel like an imposter? And what can we do about it?During our podcast, Nicole and I chatted about:The backstory behind her work with her company, Real and WorthyWhat imposter phenomenon is, and how it is different than Imposter SyndromeWhat does it mean to lead in a system that wasn't built for you? And how is this especially difficult for women of color?What is the Worthy Leadership Framework?The “I am worthy of” promptIf you have beat yourself up regarding Imposter Syndrome, flip your brain inside out in the best way possible with today's show.Here is more about Nicole:Nicole Pulliam is a first-generation trailblazer, a tenured professor, and a Woman of Color who has spent over 20 years inside the very systems she now helps others navigate. She has led organizations, built programs from the ground up, and sat in rooms where she had to fight, quietly or loudly, to be taken seriously.As a tenured professor, Nicole works inside the academy every day. When she coaches faculty, Nicole is not speaking from the outside. She is speaking from experience. As Nicole knows, the rules are different when you're a woman. The game often feels different when you're a Woman of Color. Through executive coaching, leadership development, speaking, and consulting, Nicole partners with women, especially Women of Color, who are doing meaningful work in environments that don't always make space for them. She also partners with higher education institutions ready to invest in their people.Her approach is identity-affirming, strength-based, and unapologetically human. Nicole holds a Ph.D. in Counselor Education, an M.A. in Counseling, and a B.A. in Psychology, along with professional certifications in coaching and intercultural development. But more than credentials, Nicole brings lived experience and a genuine commitment to each of her client's growth.Whether you're a leader navigating your next chapter, a faculty member in the thick of academic life, or an organization ready to do the real work, Nicole's goal is the same: to help you lead with clarity, courage, and a deeper sense of who you actually are.

Meet Greg, the adviser who built a career on saying what 1,000+ founders didn't want to hear. Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos. Get up to $3 million in coverage in as little as 10 minutes at https://ethos.com/founded. Application times may vary. Rates may vary. The opener to this episode tells you two things about Greg McCallum: he's funnier than most business advisers, and he's more honest about the cost of the founder life than almost anyone we've had on the show. 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Ask strangers, not friends. The most common founder mistake is failing to ask prospective customers whether the idea is good. Do it early and you're not just validating, you're building a pipeline, learning the language that sells, and writing your first sales playbook for free. 2. Sales is listening, not pitching. Professional sales hires get a three- to six-month ramp before anyone expects a deal, so give yourself the same grace. Never ask for the sale. Understand the need, demonstrate the solution, and let them ask you. 3. Honesty is the strategy. With customers, with investors, and hardest of all with yourself. Audit the skills you actually lack before you buy the domain or design the logo. Self-awareness is cheaper than failure. Greg got kicked out of school at 15. By 16, he was running a restaurant floor. By 18, he'd quietly consulted for almost every bar and restaurant in Oxford. By his mid-twenties, banks were asking him into the boardroom. Then he deliberately took a soul-destroying telemarketing job for a year, because nobody would take his sales advice seriously until he'd done the hard yards himself. That decision led to sales leadership at Booksy (now unicorn status), C-suite roles across startups, and a mentoring practice that has helped over 1,000 founders worldwide, under a name he's turned into a brand: The No Bullshit Adviser. In this episode, Greg gets honest about the mistake almost every founder makes, why working in sales won't teach you founder sales, the AI industry's dirty data secret his new startup Peer is built to solve, and the part nobody talks about: the anxiety, the dark years, and the alliances entrepreneurship never lets you make. Because when it all goes wrong, the question that matters is who you actually call. Please note: this episode contains strong language throughout. Greg is called the No Bullshit Adviser for a reason.

Listed your accomplishments like the internet told you to.And the fraud feeling is still there.Here's why: it's not imposter syndrome. It's something older.

In this episode, Dana is joined by Kurt Bush, a trauma-informed coach who helps leaders move from imposter syndrome to authentic confidence. Kurt shares his own journey with imposter syndrome, from feeling like a fraud in corporate leadership meetings to realizing his true calling. He explains that to make a change, the pain of staying the same must become greater than the pain of changing, a threshold many of us fear crossing. Kurt introduces the ERT (Encounter + Reflection = Transformation) framework, a practical approach to help you get unstuck. He reveals why the first step to moving forward is often learning to "start stopping" the things that drain your energy, allowing you to create a life that is truly aligned with who you are.  Kurt's Website Kurt's Linkedin ------------- Learn more about Phoenix and Flame, connect with Dana, and listen to more episodes here: Book Dana for your next speaking event or workshop

This episode is for you.Today we're looking at imposter syndrome, not as a confidence problem, but as an identity problem. Your mind doesn't rise to meet the evidence in front of it — it filters that evidence through who it already believes you are. More proof doesn't fix that. Familiarity does.

Welcome back to part 2 of Jacquette's conversation with feminist business coach and author Becky Mollenkamp. Last time, they talked about loss, feeling untethered, and the disconnect between money knowledge and money behavior. This episode goes further. Becky shares the event that supercharged her feminism, what it's like to run a successful “people‑first” business in a profit‑driven system, the fallacy of imposter syndrome, and why defining a “living wage” is more complicated than it sounds; and that's just the beginning!

Send us Fan Mail A 2 a.m. dream sounds like the kind of story you file under “interesting” and move on. Brigid Kennedy didn't. She woke up, made coffee, and started writing, even though she was a musician, a mom, and not “trained” to be a novelist. That single night became the start of a body-deep yes, one that eventually led to multiple books, a novella series, and The Lost City of Incan Gold, a story rooted in family history, immigrant traditions, and the ache of unanswered questions. We talk about what a real calling actually feels like when it arrives quietly, without a five-step plan or a perfect sign. Brigid shares why busy, capable people dismiss the thing that keeps coming back, and how imposter syndrome can masquerade as being practical, especially when you're starting over later in life. We also get honest about the day-to-day cost of postponing: the “hole” that forms when you know you're not doing what you came here to do, and how that unfinished truth can shadow your mental and emotional wellbeing. Along the way, Brigid explains how writing became a gift for her teenage daughter, preserving a family legacy spanning Ireland and Peru and helping bring healing around a great-grandfather's disappearance in the Amazon. If you've been waiting to feel ready, you'll leave with a grounded starting point: begin before you're ready, take one step, and let the work teach you who you're becoming.

Episode 751: Leading with Confidence with Ben Brearley What if the qualities you’ve been told to hide are actually your greatest leadership strengths? Many thoughtful, introverted, and people-focused leaders quietly wrestle with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to lead like someone else. In this empowering episode of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, host Vicki Noethling sits down with leadership coach and Thoughtful Leader founder Ben Brearley to explore how authentic leadership begins by embracing who you already are. Ben introduces his practical Useful Thinking approach — a powerful framework that helps leaders replace unproductive thought patterns with clear, intentional thinking that leads to confident action. Together, Vicki and Ben unpack why so many capable leaders question themselves despite their success, how values become a compass for difficult decisions, and why setting healthy boundaries is one of the most important leadership skills you can develop. If you’ve ever struggled with giving feedback, avoiding difficult conversations, or believing your quiet personality makes you less effective, this episode offers practical strategies that will help you lead with greater confidence, authenticity, and impact. In this episode you’ll discover: Why confidence is built through action—not personality. • Ben’s “Useful Thinking” method for overcoming limiting beliefs. • The truth about imposter syndrome and why successful leaders experience it. • Whether feedback is really a gift—and how to give and receive it effectively. • Why introverted leaders often possess overlooked leadership advantages. • How leading from your values creates clarity during difficult decisions. • Practical ways people-pleasers can establish healthy professional boundaries. • A simple approach for navigating difficult conversations with confidence. Leadership isn’t about becoming louder. It’s about becoming clearer, more intentional, and more authentic. When you stop trying to imitate someone else’s leadership style, you give yourself permission to become the leader others genuinely want to follow.

Have you ever felt like everyone else has it figured out except you? Maybe you've started a business, started a new career, moved into your dream home, or stepped into a new season of life… only to hear that little voice whisper, "Who do you think you are?" In this episode, we're reimagining imposter syndrome and exploring why so many capable, caring, and high-achieving people secretly feel like they don't belong. I'll share some of my own experiences with imposter syndrome—from starting my business to moving into neighborhoods where I questioned whether I truly fit in—and how I eventually realized those feelings weren't telling me the truth. We'll also explore why our self-image can lag behind our growth, how our minds reinforce the stories we believe about ourselves, and why feeling like an imposter may actually be a sign that you're stepping into the next version of who you're becoming. Finally, I'll share several practical tools that have helped me move through imposter syndrome, quiet my inner critic, and keep moving forward even when confidence wasn't there yet. If you've ever wondered whether you're really ready, this episode is for you. Don't forget to leave a review at ratethispodcast.com/ourreimaginedlife. Your review helps more women discover our community and reminds them they're not alone on this journey. Until next week, I love you!

What questions are tugging at you right now, and how might sitting with the answers help unlock your potential?For this 30th installment of our popular Ask Me Anything series, Dr. Michael Gervais is joined by co-host Victoria Garrick Browne, a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient, former Division I volleyball player at USC, mental health advocate, creator, and speaker. Victoria turned her own private struggle with performance anxiety and depression into a gift for millions, and she founded The Hidden Opponent, a nonprofit that brings mental health education and support to student-athletes on campuses around the country. She's the ideal person to sit alongside Mike for this AMA and help answer these questions with care.The questions our community submitted are honest and vulnerable, and they keep circling the same root: identity. What happens when who you are gets fused to what you do? Mike and Victoria explore why the culture around us so easily hands young people a performance-based identity, what it looks like to move toward a purpose-based one instead, and why the way a parent talks about their child at the dinner table quietly shapes how that child sees themselves.This is a practical and useful conversation for anyone who competes, coaches, parents, or is simply trying to figure out who they are.In this conversation, we explore:How to help young people build an identity rooted in who they are, not only in how they performWhy the way you talk about your child, even at Thanksgiving, is shaping their identityHow to tell the difference between healthy competitiveness and unhealthy pressureThe warning signs of burnout in a young athlete, and why competing too early can backfireHow to share a mental health story in recruiting without it becoming a liabilityWhether real confidence can exist without external validationThe difference between formal instruction and guided discovery in coaching and parentingA simple, honest way to work with imposter syndromeIf your sense of who you are has ever felt a little too tied to what you do, this one is well-worth your time.Links & ResourcesTo learn more about Victoria, please visit: https://victoriagarrickbrowne.com/To learn more about The Hidden Opponent, the non-profit Victoria started, please visit: https://www.thehiddenopponent.org/ Subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

Andy Burnham is the first Prime Minister on How to Fail. Past leaders have run scared of doing a podcast with ‘fail' in the title - but not this one. As he says in this conversation: ‘if you've not succeeded, you have to understand why it happened, and what you're going to do about it.' Wise words from a global leader. Burnham is now our 7th Prime Minister in 10 years, having won a decisive by-election in Makerfield and having received nominations from 94% of Labour MPs in an unopposed leadership contest. In this exclusive episode, recorded at No. 10 North, Andy talks about growing up, how his Catholic faith has shaped his outlook (and whether or not he snuck some communion wine as an altar boy). Plus: imposter syndrome, what he learned from his past failed leadership bids, friendships within politics, how his wife responded to his desire to run for PM, the meaning of ‘home' and whether or not his dad, who suffers from Alzheimer's, knows his son has become Prime Minister. A must-listen, even if we do say so ourselves.

You're hitting every number, checking every box, stacking win after win. So why does it still feel like you're one mistake away from being exposed? That voice in your head keeps whispering the same lies: "You got lucky."  "You don't actually belong here."  "It's only a matter of time before they see through you." That's Imposter Syndrome talking. And it never works alone…shame is always riding shotgun. These two don't care about your résumé or your results. They specialize in one thing: convincing high-capacity people they're frauds, even while everyone around them is taking notes. Left unchecked, they'll quietly drain your peace and stop your momentum cold. That's exactly why I sat down with John Gallagher, Founder of Growing Champions. John spends his days inside the minds of Fortune 500 executives and elite performers…the ones who look like they have it all together, but are privately wrestling with the same internal battles you are. This isn't a polished, surface-level conversation. It's honest, it's direct, and it's exactly what a lot of you need to hear right now. In this episode, you'll hear: A 3-step framework for breaking out of your head and into decisive action Why even high performers hit walls of self-doubt (and how to push through) How to confront shame head-on and take back the narrative it's written for you The everyday structure that keeps faith, family, fitness, and finances all moving forward together KEY QUOTES "Excellence only happens on purpose... If we haven't put the structure and process or disciplines in place, success will fall backward." - John Gallagher "Diluted focus will lead us to diluted results." - John Gallagher (quoting Rory Vaden) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website: https://coachjohngallagher.com/ Podcast: https://coachjohngallagher.com/podcast/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachjohngallagher/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachjohngallagher/ NEXT STEPS Listen to the full episode: https://jamesreid.com/john-gallagher-cuc Want to bring your best home more consistently?

Episode 180: Become the Story You Believe   Have you ever noticed how the story you tell yourself quietly shapes the way you show up?   In this episode, I'm inviting you to take an honest look at the narratives you've been believing about yourself, your business, and your calling. Because the truth is, the stories we repeat become the beliefs we live from—and those beliefs determine the actions we take.   Whether you've been feeling behind, discouraged, or questioning if you're really qualified, I want to encourage you to let God become the Author of your story instead of fear, comparison, or past disappointment. Together, we'll also explore why storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to build a brand that creates connection, trust, and lasting impact.   In this episode, you'll discover: How the stories you tell yourself shape your identity and influence your decisions Why replacing false narratives with God's truth changes how you lead and show up The connection between faith, mindset, and building a Business Christian Self Help brand How God uses hidden seasons to produce lasting fruit instead of quick success Why storytelling is one of the most effective ways to build trust and grow your influence A simple challenge to help you rewrite your story from God's perspective this week   If you've been carrying a narrative that no longer aligns with who God says you are, I hope this episode gives you the courage to exchange fear for truth. Your circumstances may not change overnight, but your perspective can—and that has the power to change everything.   If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend or leave a review.

Send me a text and let me know!! At 20 years old, Todd Kuhn signed a $100,000-per-year commercial lease with no loans, no outside money, and no formal business experience — just a Pilates-teaching girlfriend, a handful of community hall classes, and a gut feeling that there was a market. What came next was a business built class by class, location by location, all the way to an international product operation now expanding across the United States. In this episode of Undiscovered Entrepreneur: Get Across the Start Line, Todd Kuhn joins Skoob for a grounded, high-energy conversation about calculated risk, market testing before committing, the difference between an operator mindset and a CEO mindset, and why the people least expected to succeed are often the ones who do — because they didn't overcomplicate it. What You'll Learn: How Todd went from a graduate job he hated to 40 Pilates classes a week at age 20 — in six monthsHow testing the market in community halls before signing a lease de-risked a $100,000 commitmentWhy "analysis causes paralysis" is the biggest barrier stopping entrepreneurs from startingWhy naivety and bravery often outperform overthinking and credentialsThe difference between a calculated risk and just jumpingWhy you don't need to quit your 9-to-5 until your side hustle matches or exceeds your salaryThe just-in-time learning model: learn what you need now, not what you might need somedayWhy niching down is more powerful than being a jack of all tradesHow a personal crisis became the catalyst for Todd's shift from operator to CEOThe snowflake-to-snowball-to-snowman model for building business momentumTodd's six-month goal: double income and build a values-aligned team in the USTimestamps: [00:00:00] – Introduction & Welcome[00:01:00] – Todd's Origin Story: Graduate Job, Pilates Classes & Going All In at 20[00:03:00] – The Modern Picture of Success: Why a Degree Doesn't Equal Success Anymore[00:04:30] – YouTube University and Learning Skills Without a Classroom[00:05:00] – Learning is Useless Without Implementation[00:06:00] – Choose Your Own Adventure: Entrepreneurship as a Path, Not a Plan[00:07:00] – Imposter Syndrome and Feedback: Taking Criticism as Data, Not Attack[00:08:00] – Finding Your Tribe — Or Letting It Find You[00:09:00] – Analysis Causes Paralysis: The Mindset That Stops Most Entrepreneurs[00:10:00] – Calculated Risk vs. Blind Jumping: What the Difference Actually Looks Like[00:12:00] – The Trap of a Comfortable Job You Hate[00:13:00] – How Todd Bootstrapped: Testing the Market in Community Halls First[00:14:30] – Just-in-Time Learning: Stop Wasting Brain Calories on What You Don't Need Yet[00:15:00] – Continuous Learning Compounds: You Don't Need to Know It All to Start[00:15:30] – Niche Down or Stay Scattered: Why Focus Wins[00:16:00] – The Pitfall He's Proud Of: From Operator to CEO Mindset[00:18:00] – One Piece of Advice for New Entrepreneurs: Just Get Started[00:19:00] – Don't Quit the 9-to-5 Until the Side Hustle Matches the Salary[00:20:00] – The Snowflake-to-Snowball-to-Snowman Model for Building Momentum[00:21:00] – Todd's Six-Month Goal: Double Income & Build a Values-Aligned US Team[00:23:00] – How to Find Todd & The Core Collab USABook Mentioned:

A calm, healthy relationship can feel more dangerous to you than the chaos you grew up in. That's hypervigilance. It hates the absence of a threat, so it manufactures one, even when you're finally safe. Patrick Teahan, a clinical social worker and childhood trauma educator, breaks down why your body still reacts like it's protecting a nine year old. You're not overreacting. You're replaying. Teahan explains how most people experience the present entirely through the lens of childhood, filtering every text and every silence through wounds that happened decades ago. This episode gets into inner child work, re-parenting, and the murky question of when going no contact with a parent is healing versus when it's avoidance. You'll hear what real boundaries look like when love and abuse get tangled together. By the end, you'll understand why healing isn't about proving your parents wrong. It's about finally believing you were a good kid the whole time. Patrick's Website Patrick's Instagram Patrick's YouTube Patrick's TikTok In this episode you will: Discover why your nervous system treats calm, safe relationships as a threat Learn Patrick's three-part healing framework of finishing business with your family of origin, re-parenting your inner child, and doing the deeper work of intimacy Understand the ACE study and why quiet, everyday trauma often does more damage than one big event Explore when going no contact with a parent is genuine healing and when it becomes avoidance Uncover the link between childhood trauma, imposter syndrome, and your ability to manifest the life you want For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1962 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

Author Casper ter Kuile on transforming everyday writing into a sacred ritual, drawing on rest and reflection to fuel creativity, and moving past self-doubt to write as a gift for others. You'll learn Why the point of the work week might be the rest, not the other way around. How to turn an ordinary daily habit into a ritual using three simple ingredients. What a weekly tech sabbath can unlock in your most creative thinking. The reframe that turns a dreadful first draft into something you can build on. A piece of advice from a mentor that dissolves the pressure to say something new. How reading writers you love can quietly refill the tank when you're stuck. Why treating your writing as a gift changes the way you handle criticism. The practice for staying humble and kind toward yourself in equal measure. What sacred reading traditions can teach you about going deeper into any text. Why the smallest groups, not the biggest audiences, are where meaning actually forms.
