346: Imposter Syndrome

NATALIE ECKDAHL, MBA
About this episode

Who am I to do this? I could never be as confident or successful as her.  I feel like one day everyone is going to figure out that I have no idea what I’m doing? Sound familiar? Welcome to the world of Imposter Syndrome. 

It’s known as a feeling of self doubt, of being a fraud, or that any success has just been a fluke. When it comes to creative entrepreneurs, you may feel that sinking sense of “I’m going to put this out there and I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. Everyone is going to know.”

When you’re stuck in the middle of Imposter Syndrome, you never feel good enough. Some women have described it as the sensation that people are going to “draw back the curtain” and realize the truth: that you, whoever you are, are an imposter.

Imposter Syndrome knows no bounds. You’ll find it in successful actors, CEO’s, bankers, mom’s, athletes . . . and me.

Join me as I share the chapter on Imposter Syndrome from my new book R.E.S.E.T. Your Mindset.
