Podcasts about imposters

In this episode, host Mark Mathia explores imposter syndrome—what it is, why it affects leaders, and real statistics and personal stories that show its impact. He explains how doubt can freeze high-performing people and why ego-driven worthiness fuels that fear. Mark offers a practical solution: “out-serve” imposter syndrome by shifting from proving your worth to being useful. He shares actionable practices—daily usefulness check-ins, a heart-versus-mind audit, serving up/across/down, and empowering others—and closes with a call to action to commit to one service-focused step this week.

The year was 1917, and revolution was in the air in Russia. After sustaining heavy losses in WW1, the fall of the House of Romanov seemed inevitable. And one night the Tsar, his wife, and their five children, were shot, stabbed, burned with acid, set on fire, blown up with grenades and buried deep in Koptyaki forest. But then, rumours began to circulate that there had been survivors of the massacre… And over the years, numerous women came forward claiming to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia. What follows is a story of “delusion, fabrication, sham, romance, burlesque, travesty and humbug”. Press play to solve the mystery.Listen to our episode on Rasputin here–Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / InstagramSources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com

Join the Emotional Eating Programwww.imnotquitting.com In this episode of the Becoming Thin Podcast, Chris explores a powerful question many people overlook when trying to lose weight. Why do we gain the weight in the first place? Instead of focusing only on dieting strategies, he digs into the deeper psychological patterns that often drive emotional eating. Drawing from both research and years of coaching experience, Chris introduces four common emotional patterns that frequently show up in people who struggle with emotional eating: the Appeaser, the Imposter, the Perfectionist, and the Suppressor.  Throughout the episode, Chris walks through each of these personality patterns and how they quietly influence behavior around food. Appeasers struggle to say no and often carry resentment from constantly putting others first. Imposters feel like frauds despite their accomplishments and live with constant pressure to prove themselves. Perfectionists tie their self-worth to flawless performance and often spiral when they fall short. Suppressors bury difficult emotions until the pressure eventually finds an outlet, sometimes through food or other forms of escape. By recognizing these patterns, listeners can begin to see how emotional eating is often a symptom of deeper emotional habits rather than simply a lack of willpower.  Chris emphasizes that awareness is the first step toward lasting change. Emotional eating is not something that disappears overnight, but these patterns can absolutely be worked through with time, honesty, and the right support. He closes the episode by inviting listeners who resonate with these patterns to go deeper through his 10-week emotional eating program inside the Guild, where he helps members confront the root causes of weight gain so they can not only lose weight but keep it off and ultimately become thin, healthy, happy, and in shape.  

What really makes a great podcaster stand out? It is not always the flashy stuff like gear, editing tricks, or knowing every tool. Today, we ask a bigger question: what is the most underrated skill a podcaster can have? The answers go deeper than the usual advice as we talk about vocal technique, active listening, and the kinds of skills that help you keep a conversation alive. Then the discussion shifts into another big question: which matters more, technical or creative editing skills? That opens the door to a thoughtful conversation about craft, instinct, and why strong podcasting often asks for both. Regardless if you are brand new to podcasting or have been doing this a while, we invite you to think beyond the basics and look at what really helps a show land with your audience. To wrap up the show, we close out the week with a quick nod to wins worth celebrating.

This week I got slammed with imposter syndrome in the most surreal way — sitting in Nairobi with my philanthropy circle, side by side with Nobel Peace Prize laureates and young activists literally changing the world… while my brain was still like, "It's just my little internet business, who the fuck let me in here?" In this episode I'm sharing: What it's actually like inside this Nobel women's circle How being in these rooms cracked open my beliefs about money, impact, and sisterhood Why I'm more committed than ever to helping women build serious wealth so we can fund the revolution and have the lives we desire If you've ever wondered, "Who am I to want more when the world is on fire?" or "Does my online business even matter?" — this one will recalibrate you, big time.

Rahul Sidhu, narrating a new blog he wrote for the Dementia Researcher website. In this blog, Rahul reflects on his experience of imposter syndrome throughout his research career, from early lab work to PhD study. He describes the anxiety of feeling less capable than those around you, the pressure of comparisons within research groups, and the fear of asking questions or making mistakes. Rahul explains that these feelings are common in scientific careers and shares strategies that have helped him manage them, including focusing on growth rather than perfection, comparing progress only with your past self, asking for support from colleagues, taking action even when confidence is low, and practising self compassion. The blog offers reassurance that doubt does not mean you do not belong in science.

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Freddie Bell and Chantel Sings speak with Jay Haapala about the spike in IRS imposter scams during tax season. He explains how criminals pose as IRS agents through voicemails, texts, and emails to demand payment, steal personal information, or gain access to devices and financial accounts. Haapala outlines common red flags—including requests for payment by gift cards or cryptocurrency—and reminds listeners that the IRS does not initiate contact in these ways. He also highlights protective tools like the IRS Identity Protection PIN program and encourages people to stay informed through AARP's Fraud Watch Network to avoid becoming victims.

Imposter syndrome gets tossed around constantly in the design world — but what if it's not a syndrome… it's just a temporary feeling (and one we can learn to move through)?   In this episode, we unpack why "imposter syndrome" might be the wrong label, how it can turn into an excuse that keeps you stuck, and what to do when those thoughts show up mid-project, mid-pivot, or mid-big-decision.   We talk about the difference between filling real knowledge gaps (skills, systems, confidence builders) and rewiring your inner dialogue (self-talk, visualization, affirmations, community support). If you've ever questioned whether you "belong" because you don't have the "right" credentials, background, or path — this one is your reminder: you're allowed to build success in a way that fits your life. In this episode, we cover:

"You have to get beyond the 'it's all about me' and get over that 'non-profit mindset' to realize you have a skillset worth an investment. Don't compromise on your value." - Catherine Angus We sit down with Catherine Angus, founder of the Hear You Go podcast, to talk about self-worth, education businesses, and standing firm on value.  In addition to the Hear You Go podcast, Catherine is an English language mentor, specializing in helping advanced speakers and teachers maintain fluency while silencing their inner critics. Through her 1:1 coaching and WILDE: The Listening Festival, she uses authentic global conversations to help learners build confidence and rediscover their love for the language.   In this episode, we chat about:  starting a podcast: confidence, doubt, and the unknown overcoming the 7-episode dropoff [where most podcasters quit] what perfectionism actually means why you want to be the tortoise, not the hare  social media toxicity and discovering what clients really want why passive income is like buying a lottery ticket using podcasts as a lead magnet, not a product how to pivot without abandoning your mission   *Prefer video? Watch the episode on YouTube.   FOR MORE FROM CATHERINE ANGUS: 1.

What if the loss you're carrying doesn't have a name — no death, no disaster, just a quiet, persistent ache that something was always missing? In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll look at Gate Four of our grief series: What We Expected But Did Not Receive. Drawing from Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow, we'll explore the grief that comes from never being fully welcomed, seen, or celebrated for exactly who you are — a loss so subtle it often masquerades as personal failure. This episode offers a deeply compassionate and scientifically grounded look at why so many of us feel vaguely unfulfilled and how we can actually do something about it. Spoiler: it starts with grieving what you were owed. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

Have you ever walked into a room where you belonged, yet felt like a total intruder? Even when surrounded by friends or longtime colleagues, that whisper of inadequacy—the one that claims you are "running a game" on everyone—often grows loudest just as you are about to shine. In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on a recent, that forced me to confront my own "elaborate dance of diminishment". We explore the terrifying possibility that we aren't actually afraid of being incompetent, but rather, we are terrified of being seen as someone who knows they are truly good at what they do. If you have ever felt the need to offer a disclaimer before sharing a brilliant idea, this conversation is your invitation to stop shrinking and start taking up the space you have already earned.   Chapters 00:13 The anatomy of an uninvited guest 01:15 Six seats and a drop in the stomach 02:34 The hammer in my chest 04:10 Why we make space for everyone but ourselves 05:50 Maya Angelou and the fear of being seen 07:14 Potholes, grandmothers, and unexpressed brilliance 09:37 Trading disclaimers for bravery   Support the Show Website: http://www.martineseverin.comFollow on Instagram: @martine.severin | @thisishowwecreate_ Subscribe to the Newsletter: http://www.martineseverin.substack.com   This is How We Create is produced by Martine Severin.

QUICK TAKEAWAYS•       Continuous improvement leadership doubles your career productivity vs. peers who stop learning•       The 3 capabilities every woman leader needs: courage to name problems, humility to keep learning, discipline to stay consistent•       Kaizen's daily 15-minute team meeting is directly applicable to your own career self-management•       GE's turnaround under Larry Culp proves CI works in any industry — finance, tech, healthcare, or your own career•       In 2026's 'forever layoff' climate, CI skills signal indispensable strategic value to any organizationIf you're a woman leader in 2026, the job market has changed dramatically — and not in your favor. Glassdoor's Worklife Trends report calls it the 'forever layoff': small, rolling cuts that never make headlines but keep talented executives in a constant state of anxiety. Meanwhile, AI is reshaping roles at every level, and the competition for standout positions has never been fiercer.As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast — ranked in the top 1.5% globally with over 750,000 downloads — I've interviewed more than 144 of the world's top leadership experts. When I heard Olaf Boettger's approach to continuous improvement leadership, I immediately knew this was the missing framework most women leaders had never considered.Olaf spent 27 years at Procter & Gamble and Danaher — two of the most operationally excellent companies on earth — mastering the Japanese Kaizen philosophy. What he discovered translates directly to career acceleration: the same system that doubled Toyota's worker productivity and powered GE's biggest turnaround in American history can supercharge your leadership brand and make you the candidate no one can afford to pass over. The 2026 Career Reality: Why 'Working Hard' Is No Longer Enough The data is sobering for women leaders right now. According to Glassdoor's 2025 Workplace Trends report, small layoffs — under 50 people — now represent 51% of all job cuts, up from just 38% in 2015. These 'forever layoffs' create cultures of anxiety where talented women question their value daily.At the same time, female manager engagement dropped seven percentage points in 2025 alone — the steepest decline of any group, according to Gallup research. Women leaders are being asked to do more with less, carrying teams through AI disruption and RTO mandates, while their own career advancement stalls.The traditional answer — work harder, be more visible, volunteer for every high-profile project — simply isn't scaling. In a market where 45% of employers rate the job outlook as 'fair' at best, you need a completely different strategy. You need continuous improvement leadership. ?

GET YOUR FREE LEADERSHIP BRANDING BLUEPRINT ACCELERATOR What Is Continuous Improvement Leadership? The Kaizen Framework Explained Continuous improvement — known in Japanese as Kaizen, meaning 'change for the better' — originated at Toyota nearly 90 years ago. After World War II, with limited resources and a need to compete globally, Toyota developed a system to extract maximum quality and efficiency from every process. That system, now called the Toyota Production System, became the foundation of what we know as Lean, Six Sigma, and the Danaher Business System.For women leaders, continuous improvement leadership means applying these same principles to your career, your team, and your organization. It is not a one-time initiative or a January resolution. It is a daily practice — a permanent operating system.The Three Foundation PrinciplesOlaf distills continuous improvement leadership into three core principles:Kaizen — The belief that there is always a better way. This is not about being self-critical; it is about being growth-oriented. Every interaction, presentation, and leadership decision is an opportunity to iterate and improve.Go to Gemba — Go to the real place. Stop relying on slide decks and secondhand reports. As a leader, this means visiting your stakeholders, understanding what your team actually experiences day-to-day, and staying close to the work that creates value.Customer focus — Always anchor to what your 'customer' values. In a career context, your customers are your executive stakeholders, your team, and the business outcomes you're hired to deliver. Everything you do should be filtered through: does this add value for them?The Three Capabilities That Determine SuccessAccording to Olaf, your mindset determines everything. Leaders who succeed with continuous improvement possess three non-negotiable capabilities:CapabilityWhat It Looks Like in PracticeWhy Women Leaders Need It NowCOURAGEHonestly naming when your performance or your team's is 'red' — even when the culture rewards positivity over truth.In 2026's performance-pressured environment, leaders who surface problems first are seen as strategic — not weak.HUMILITYStaying open to learning regardless of your experience level. As Olaf says: the best leaders he's known, including P&G's CEO A.G. Lafley, were the most humble.Imposter syndrome tempts women to prove they already know everything. Humility is the counterintuitive superpower.DISCIPLINEShowing up for improvement consistently — not just in January. Committing to the decade, not the quarter.Career advancement compounds. The women who stand out in 2026 are those who have been quietly improving for years. The Business Case: What Continuous Improvement Leadership Actually Delivers For skeptics — and Olaf acknowledges that many leaders initially resist this approach — the numbers make a compelling argument. Toyota, the originator of this system, generates roughly twice the revenue per employee compared to its nearest competitors. Danaher, where Olaf spent the bulk of his career, has sustained approximately 15–16% compound annual growth for 40 consecutive years.The most visible example is GE's transformation under Larry Culp — the former Danaher CEO who took over when GE was in deep financial trouble. Using continuous improvement as the operating backbone, Culp and his teams executed what many consider one of the greatest corporate turnarounds in American business history, eventually splitting GE into three highly successful independent companies.On a practical level, Olaf shared a specific case study from a Danaher acquisition: a company delivering orders on time just 50% of the time. Using CI methodologies, that number rose to 95%. For context, if Amazon delivered your packages on time half the time, you'd stop using Amazon. A 45-percentage-point improvement is not incremental — it's transformational. TRY THIS NOW (10 Minutes)Apply Olaf's Red/Green method to your career right now: Identify one goal you have for your career this quarter (promotion, salary increase, high-visibility project).Set a specific target. Write your current actual. Color code it: are you green (on track) or red (below target)? If red — write one sentence explaining why.Then write one action you will take this week to close the gap. That's continuous improvement leadership in action. Do this every Monday.  How to Apply Continuous Improvement Leadership to Your Career in 2026 The beauty of Kaizen is that it scales from a Toyota factory floor to your personal career strategy. Here's how to translate Olaf's framework into your daily leadership practice:The 15-Minute Daily Leadership HuddleAt every Danaher facility, teams hold a 15-minute standing meeting every morning. They review five metrics — safety, quality, delivery, inventory, productivity — and ask: are we red or green? If red, why? Who does what by when?For your career, your five metrics might be: stakeholder relationships, project delivery, skill development, visibility, and team performance. A daily or weekly 10-minute self-check asking those same questions creates the discipline of continuous improvement at the individual level.Visual Management for Your CareerOlaf emphasizes making performance visible. In organizations, this means color-coded boards. For your career, this translates to maintaining a simple achievement tracker — a running document of your wins, metrics, and impact — that you review weekly. This directly feeds your Leadership Branding Blueprint and becomes the evidence base for promotion conversations.The Growth Mindset + Kaizen ConnectionOlaf's PhD research connected him deeply to Carol Dweck's work on fixed vs. growth mindsets. Dweck's research demonstrates that individuals who believe abilities can be developed through dedication consistently outperform those who believe talent is fixed. Continuous improvement is the operational expression of growth mindset — it gives you the system that turns that belief into measurable career results.

Together, they explore why imposter syndrome shows up so strongly for experienced professionals, particularly travel advisors navigating pricing conversations, client objections, leadership and growth. Rather than trying to eliminate fear, Christine reframes imposter syndrome as a signal that you are stretching beyond your comfort zone.

It's about holding your value, trusting your expertise, and choosing growth over fear.

Imposter syndrome is something we talk about constantly in veterinary medicine — but what if we've been thinking about it all wrong? In this episode of Choose People Love Pets, Dr. Brianna Armstrong and Phoebe Valdez explore a powerful reframe: what if imposter syndrome isn't a sign that you don't belong… but evidence that you're growing? Through personal stories — including Brianna's experience pitching her veterinary startup Skye Paws while still in vet school — they unpack how discomfort, self-doubt, and even anxiety often appear at the exact moments when identity expansion and leadership growth are happening. Together, they introduce the idea of “growth syndrome” — a framework for understanding why high-achievers and veterinary professionals often feel like imposters when stepping into new roles, leadership opportunities, or unfamiliar challenges. If you've ever wondered: “Do I actually belong here?” “What if they find out I don't know what I'm doing?” “Why does growth feel so uncomfortable?” This conversation offers a new perspective — and practical tools to help you reframe the experience. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why imposter syndrome may actually be a sign of growth The story behind Skye Paws and navigating first-time visibility How veterinary training shapes our relationship with competence and confidence The three elements of “growth syndrome”: Novelty Visibility Identity expansion Why waiting to feel ready keeps us stuck How to build confidence by trusting yourself through growth Practical strategies for navigating high-stakes new experiences Key Takeaways Confidence does not come before action — it comes from action. You don't feel like an imposter when you stay small. Growth often feels uncomfortable because your identity is expanding faster than your evidence. Leadership requires becoming a beginner again. Follow for more:  FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556480229406&mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠  IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/choosepeoplelovepets?igsh=MTVzZjc4ZHE4MWd2NQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr⁠  LI: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/choose-people-love-pets/⁠

There's a version of pain nobody talks about—the quiet, grinding kind that shows up when you're building from nothing. In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, entrepreneur Chris McManus shares what “pushing through the pain” actually looks like behind the scenes. This episode is for founders, builders, and high-responsibility people carrying more than others realize. You'll hear how pressure evolves as success grows, why identity can trap you, and what it takes to stay steady—without burning out or becoming harsh with yourself. About the Guest: Chris McManus is an entrepreneur based in North Carolina. He grew a landscaping business into a multi-seven-figure company in seven years, starting right out of high school, while also building in real estate and retail. Episode Chapter: 00:01 — What “pushing through pain” really means 00:03 — Pain as dissatisfaction and frustration 00:04 — Why scaling makes problems bigger, not smaller 00:07 — Detaching identity from the business 00:09 — Control, delegation, and working on the business 00:10 — Imposter syndrome and learning to quiet the loud voice 00:13 — Burnout, self-care, and the long-game mindset Key Takeaways: Pain doesn't end with success—it changes shape, and you build capacity to handle it. Separate your identity from your business so you can make clearer decisions. Hire or train people to solve what you can't—control can become your biggest bottleneck. When impostor thoughts get loud, zoom out and track what you've already built. Discipline matters, but neglecting yourself eventually costs you focus and joy. Respond to setbacks with a breath + a plan, not anger—and don't carry it into tomorrow.

AI isn't coming.It's here.And whether you're using it or avoiding it… it's already shaping your life.In Episode 83, Drew and Jimmy have a grounded, real-world conversation about artificial intelligence — cutting through the fear, hype, and sci-fi narratives to ask a simple question:Is AI a tool… a trap… or the next leap in human evolution?From dismissing it as “Google on steroids” to realizing it's already integrated into email, marketing, business strategy, and daily life — this episode walks through the awakening.They break down:Why AI is comparable to the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the internetHow avoiding it could put you at a disadvantageThe real risk of over-reliance and cognitive lazinessAI as predictive modeling — not consciousness (yet)Imposter syndrome when using AI creativelyDeepfakes, misinformation, and the responsibility of discernmentWhy AI is only as powerful as the intention behind your promptsThis isn't fear-based doom talk.It's about awareness.AI will not replace your consciousness.But it will amplify your inputs.If you feed it fear, it will reflect fear.If you feed it clarity, it will refine clarity.The question isn't whether AI is good or bad.The question is:Will you use it consciously — or be shaped by it unconsciously?

“Your feelings are real, but they're not reliable.” From Exodus 3, we're reminded that God calls ordinary people into extraordinary purpose. Even when insecurity, fear, and impostor syndrome try to speak louder than His voice. Just like Moses, we often make excuses: Who am I? I'm not enough. I don't know enough. What if I fail? I can't do this. But God isn't looking for perfection He's looking for surrender. He doesn't need our confidence, our eloquence, or our qualifications. He wants our obedience. Sometimes the very thing standing between us and God's calling is what we refuse to lay down. When God says “take off your shoes,” He's asking us to remove whatever separates us from Him: sin, fear, pride, insecurity, or control. God doesn't just send us, He goes with us. His presence leads. His name empowers. His promises sustain. His power makes the impossible possible. You are called. You are chosen. You are sent. Not because you're enough, but because He is.
