Hi, my name is Melissa Urban, and you're listening to Do The Thing, a

podcast where we explore what's been missing every time you've tried to make a change and make it stick.

Today I'm answering two of your questions, dear Melissa style.

First, I'll talk about imposter syndrome, something we have all experienced.

I remember doing some research into imposter syndrome when Whole 30 was in its early days and I was struggling.

And the best advice I could find was,

it's totally normal, fake it till you make it.

Which actually backfired for me to be honest. Now a

decade later I've learned some really practical tips you can employ right away to

keep imposter syndrome at bay and I'll tell a few stories from my own life to illustrate my

points.

Second, let's talk about judgment, specifically how you can stop being so judgmental of others.

You know how if you say a word too many times in a row,

it completely loses its meaning,

judge, judgment, judgey, we're there at this point but in this exploration I will talk about the last time

I got super judge on someone and offer three concrete strategies for rewiring your brain out of the habit of judgment and back

onto the path of your highest self. Today's theme is awareness. Being brave

enough to identify behaviors that aren't serving you,

notice how you could flip the script and commit to doing your own work.

I hope by exploring these stories you'll have your own light bulb moment and successfully

do the thing. This segment of Dear Melissa didn't come as the result of one

specific question but it's something you've asked me about on social media time and time
