Welcome to a brand new episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. Today, I sit down with my friend and fellow self-proclaimed data and marketing nerd Emily Kim. Emily is a business strategist and coach for photographers and creative entrepreneurs, and she brings her unique perspective as a former software engineer turned brand photographer. In this conversation, Emily shares her journey from navigating the cutthroat world of tech—where being “bossy” and “too much” were often labels used to diminish her—to carving out her own path as an entrepreneur and educator. Emily gets real about the frustrations of corporate bureaucracy, the internal challenges of “too muchness,” and the process of reconnecting with her creativity and intuition. Emily also opens up about the messy middle of evolving your career, the pressure of timelines, learning to trust the process, and how she honed her unique voice as a leader in her industry—despite fear of judgment from others. Whether you're thinking about making a similar leap or just want a refreshing dose of real talk about entrepreneurship, creativity, and personal growth, you're going to love this thoughtful and honest episode.

In dieser Episode spreche ich über ein Thema, das beim Zeitmanagement oft übersehen wird, aber entscheidend sein kann: deine Emotionen. Du hast ein gutes System, du weißt, was zu tun ist, aber du kommst trotzdem nicht in die Umsetzung. Woran liegt das? Häufig sind es emotionale Blockaden, die dich unbewusst bremsen, so wie zum Beispiel Selbstzweifel, innere Zerrissenheit oder unklare Werte. Ich zeige dir, wie du diese Blockaden erkennst, sie einordnen und sogar für dich nutzen kannst. Denn Emotionen sind keine Störung im System, sondern oft ein klarer Hinweis darauf, dass etwas nicht stimmt. Sie sind Signale deines inneren Kompasses. Du erfährst in dieser Folge: Wie du das Imposter-Syndrom produktiv umdeuten kannst Warum emotionale Überforderung oft nichts mit der Aufgabenmenge zu tun hat Wie du deine Werte erkennst und ins Zeitmanagement integrierst Drei einfache Methoden, um deine Emotionen im Alltag zu reflektieren Links: Die Zeit-Lupe, das kostenfreie Strategiegespräch Mein Zeitnutzer Premium Podcast

In this podcast episode, Karen Fabian, a seasoned yoga teacher with over 22 years of experience, discusses imposter syndrome and its impact on yoga instructors. She describes imposter syndrome as a feeling of inadequacy or self-doubt, where teachers feel they are "faking it" or not qualified enough, despite their training and expertise. This often stems from the pressure of public speaking, the deep responsibility of guiding students through a practice rooted in ancient traditions, and personal limiting beliefs tied to past experiences. Karen emphasizes the importance of detachment from external validation to build confidence, advocating for a consistent teaching approach, such as using a signature sequence, to reduce anxiety and foster authenticity. She shares practical strategies, like grounding exercises and pre-class breathing, to manage nerves and encourages teachers to reflect on their teaching experiences to find balance and authenticity. --Yoga teacher, Podcast Host, Author and Founder of Bare Bones Yoga, Karen Fabian has a background in rehabilitative medicine and healthcare. Her passion for anatomy and human movement is behind all she does, including her work with yoga teachers inside her program, The Yoga Anatomy Blueprint Learning Program. Along with her qualifications as a yoga teacher, she also earned her Certified Personal Trainer certification in 2017 and Corrective Exercise certification in 2019 with the National Association of Sports Medicine to deepen her knowledge of human movement.Her mission is to empower and educate yoga teachers so that they can share exceptional and accessible classes in their communities, online and in a variety of settings. She firmly believes in the ripple effect of yoga's benefits moving from teacher to student to family and community.

Send us a textThe Customer Success Playbook podcast delivers a thought-provoking exploration of confidence building in this captivating episode featuring Kristen Nolan of Interview Valet. Hosts Roman Trebon and Kevin Metzger guide a discussion that dives into overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Kristen shares her personal journey from questioning "who cares what I have to say?" to becoming a confident podcast guest who now coaches others. With refreshing honesty about her own struggles and triumphs, she reveals how facing fears head-on can lead to remarkable personal and professional growth.Detailed AnalysisBuilding confidence isn't just a personal development goal—it's a critical professional skill, especially in customer success roles where relationships and credibility are paramount. This episode tackles the universal challenge of silencing the inner critic that so often holds professionals back from reaching their full potential.Kristen Nolan's approach to confidence building centers on one powerful concept: taking action despite doubt. She candidly shares her own hesitation when first approached about being a podcast guest, revealing that her immediate reaction was, "Who cares what I have to say?" This transparent admission resonates because it reflects a common barrier many customer success professionals face—questioning their expertise or value.What makes Kristen's perspective particularly valuable for the customer success playbook is her emphasis on how facing fears creates a feedback loop of growth. By "ripping the bandaid off" with her first podcast appearance (which she admits was "pretty terrible"), she developed skills and insights that now help her better serve clients. This practical example demonstrates how pushing through discomfort directly enhances client relationship capabilities.The conversation takes an even more profound turn when Kristen addresses self-sabotage—identifying it as one of the most significant barriers to achievement. For customer success professionals, this insight is especially relevant, as hesitation in challenging client conversations or strategic recommendations can undermine effectiveness. Kristen's advice to visualize goals and map the path backward (her "Z to A thinking") offers a tactical approach to overcome this tendency.Perhaps most powerfully, the discussion draws a connection to broader life satisfaction, referencing the common deathbed regret of "not having the courage to live authentically." This reminder elevates the conversation beyond mere professional development to touch on how building confidence impacts overall life fulfillment—a holistic perspective that aligns perfectly with the integrated work-life approach many customer success professionals strive to achieve.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

If imposter syndrome were a person, most of us would be in a very toxic, on-again-off-again relationship with it. And just like any clingy ex, it loves to show up at the worst possible time—like, say, the first day of a new job, or every single time we try to feel confident about our bodies. Fun, right? *Quick reminder that next week will be our last episode until September. Stay tuned for the re-release of some oldies but goodies to get you through the summer!

If you've been waiting for clarity, confirmation, or some cosmic green light to move forward on that thing God put on your heart… here it is. This episode is your sign. I'm sharing the real, unfiltered story of how I was called to start this podcast nearly three years ago—in the middle of a home remodel, with zero extra space, and no money to throw at fancy equipment. It made no sense on paper, but I knew it was God. And saying yes to that calling changed everything. We talk about: What divine downloads really feel like Why timing will never be perfect (and that's not the point) How to recognize resistance for what it is: fear in disguise Why your vision is holy, even if it feels inconvenient or uncomfortable If you've been getting nudges from God, your intuition, or your higher self—consider this episode the confirmation you've been praying for. ✨ Ready to go deeper with personal guidance?

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with the multifaceted Dr. Tiffany Moon, a board-certified anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, twin mom, and author of the upcoming book Joy Prescriptions: How I Learned to Stop Chasing Perfection and Embrace Connection (May 2025). As the founder of Aromasthesia Candles, Three Moons Wine, and LeadHer Summit, Tiffany is also known for breaking barriers as the first Chinese American medical doctor featured on Real Housewives. Together, they dive into what it means to be an authentic woman in medicine and business, from dealing with online criticism to rejecting limiting labels like “influencer.” Dr. Moon shares wisdom on overcoming imposter syndrome, integrating work and life (not just “balancing” it), and shifting from scarcity to abundance through female mentorship and collaboration. The conversation also touches on the loneliness many successful women face, the myth of perfection, and how embracing authenticity is the most powerful prescription for joy. ••• Connect with Tiffany Moon: Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tiffanymoonmd?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffanymoonmd/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tiffanymoonmd/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffany-moon-md-fasa-06938455/ Website: https://www.tiffanymoonmd.com/ Joy Prescriptions Book: https://joyprescriptions.com/ ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to “HOT For Your Health” for more inspiring episodes.

In this follow-up episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley welcomes back guest Barb Betts for a deeper dive into a powerful idea: the confidence to build a thriving law practice begins with embracing your authentic self. For lawyers, authenticity isn't just a buzzword—it's a strategic advantage that drives client trust, firm growth, and personal satisfaction. Barb shares her powerful concept of “17 moments”—life-changing events like teenage pregnancy and severe hair loss—that taught her to stop hiding and stand in her truth. These moments are critical for attorneys, revealing the resilience and identity needed to navigate complex legal challenges. By reflecting on your own “17 moments,” you can show up as a confident expert, not a performer, in client meetings and courtrooms. Barb offers practical strategies for building a law firm with confidence: Price with Confidence: Stop people-pleasing and charge what your expertise is worth. Barb explains how underpricing stems from self-doubt, a common trap for solo attorneys. Be the Expert, Not a Performer: Clients hire you to solve problems they can't, from divorces to business disputes. Authenticity builds trust and fosters loyal client relationships. Embrace Self-Doubt: Imposter syndrome signals growth. Use it to refine your approach and strengthen your practice. Align Practice with Purpose: Authenticity creates a rewarding practice and a balanced life, fulfilling the Great Practice, Great Life ethos. This episode offers actionable insights to overcome self-doubt, stand firm in your value, and build a thriving practice. Tune in to learn how building a law firm with confidence transforms your client relationships, pricing strategy, and life.

In this episode, I help leadership coach and podcaster Julie Neale work through the discomfort she feels on stage.Though she's right at home behind the microphone, being on stage stirs up something different. Julie may look confident, but inside, she's anxious — silently struggling.Together, we trace her nerves back to early experiences that shaped her identity, including a pivotal moment when her father, with the best intentions, publicly praised her in a way that became a role she felt expected to play — even at the expense of her own truth.We also talk about how to feel more grounded, expand your stage presence, and create a sense of belonging in front of an audience.If you've ever felt unseen, misrepresented, or not fully yourself in the spotlight, this conversation will speak to you.Click here to check the full show notes.
That pervasive feeling of self-doubt and insecurity you believe you are not deserving of your achievements and fear being exposed as a fraud known as imposter syndrome is especially common among writers and other creatives who often grapple with the vulnerability inherent in sharing their work with the world.

Ep 339 | Show notes are here: https://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/339 Have you ever had an idea but you shut it down before it even had a chance? Maybe you think to yourself, “Someone else is already doing this,” or “What if no one's interested?” or “Maybe later, when I'm more experienced.” That hesitation? That voice of doubt? It might be imposter syndrome. In this episode, we take a deeper look at the subtle ways imposter syndrome keeps you stuck. It's not always loud or obvious. Often, it masquerades as fear, hesitation, or “just being realistic.” But if left unchecked, it will silence your God-given calling before you even begin. You'll learn:
