Yo, today's QOTS!

Patterns repeat unless you break and replace them. Here we go!

Welcome back to the QOTS! I'm your host, Sean Croxton, at www.SeanCroxton.com. We got

Mel Robbins on the show today and she's going to talk about Imposter Syndrome.

And she's going to talk about that pessimistic, nasty, negative voice that is in your head. It is

one of the most freeing things when you can turn that voice down, when you can distance yourself from

that voice, externalize that voice and challenge that voice and Mel is going to show you how.

Mel Robbins, she's coming up. Oh, right here. Yes, okay. Who wants to go first?

Yes. Imposter Syndrome. Okay. Currently, I'm really struggling with realizing that

my hard work that I've done is my like my hard work and that I do deserve the things that I'm

getting that I do deserve the awards, the recognition. So how do I deal with like falling back into that

like the whole? Gotcha. Who can relate to this? You feel like you're not worthy of the things

that you're accomplishing or that somehow this is luck or somebody's like giving you a break,

but you didn't earn it. God, every one of you, that blows. Really? So what you're dealing with

when you have imposter syndrome is you're dealing with a lack of self-worth. You literally

kind of see all the things working out, but you've got this like annoying voice in your head

that saying, you don't deserve this. This is luck. How many of you have that story? This is

luck. This is going to run out. This isn't due to me. Yeah. We got to literally destroy that voice.

That is from your past. And part of the reason why you have that voice, by the way,

is because of racism. It's because of discrimination. It's because of childhood trauma. It's because of

various experiences that you've had, where either your experience is growing up, or society at large

has made you feel either overtly or in a really like gross and sort of slighway like you don't belong.
