About this episode

My students and community members are truly inspiring. In these What’s Possible episodes, I’ll have a conversation with them about their journey, and in particular what has worked for them and led them to change the circumstances in their lives (for the better!).

In this episode, Lucrécia will tell you how to let go of the impostor syndrome and harness the power of the compound effect, and transform the way you think, feel, and use English.
