Summary
When something good happens for you, do you ever think, “Wow, I hope I don't get found out!” or, “I don’t deserve this”?
Do you start doubting yourself? Do you think it must have been a mistake?
If you’re nodding your head, this episode is for you because I’m talking about imposter syndrome, how to navigate it, and how to boost your confidence.
Imposter syndrome is fresh in my mind as I ran into it writing my newest book, Too Much: A Guide to High-Functioning Codependency. I hope hearing about my experience can normalize it for you and give you some ideas on how to deal with it.
