Reframing Impostor Syndrome

Erika Cramer
About this episode

Ever struggled with Impostor Syndrome?


Well this is the episode for you my friend. In this episode I am sharing my thoughts on impostor syndrome and the importance of reframing our perspective on it. My intention for this reframe? To actually inquire if you truly are an "impostor". You see, the term implies being fake or not the real deal, which doesn't align with the process of personal growth and development.

In todays episode I want to support you to normalise feeling scared, doubtful, and uncertain while pursuing your goals. And that Instead of labelling ourselves as impostors, I want to encourage you to acknowledge your current position as a work-in-progress, focusing on the phrase "not yet" to signify ongoing growth.

I discuss the significance of self-talk, celebrating accomplishments, and surrounding yourself with a supportive community to counteract feelings of inadequacy. It is so important to challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, manage your mind, and cultivating self-compassion if you want to get a handle on overcoming impostor syndrome.


In this episode I cover:


  • How you can reframe impostor syndrome by questioning the term "impostor" itself and consider whether it truly applies to your journey of personal growth and progress.
  • How this one phrase can support you to eradicate your impostor syndrome.
  • The importance of challenging negative self-talk.
  • Why it's so necessary to celebrate your achievements, and surround yourself with supportive individuals who believe in your potential.


And so much more...


This episode will inspire you to reevaluate your perception of impostor syndrome, empower you to embrace your journey of becoming, and provide practical strategies for overcoming self-doubt and cultivating self-compassion.
