How to overcome self-doubt and "Who am I...

Lisa Bean
About this episode

"Who am I to do this?" is one of the most common forms of self-doubt we hear, often translated into: Who am I to do this?

In today's episode we're going to get into the detail of this self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and look at very practical ways you can overcome the feeling of 'who am I to do this'? 

We'll look at:

- How normal imposter syndrome is and how successful people confront the doubt when it arises.

- How to support yourself through 'self-coaching' and 'self-soothing', with some practical ideas for inspiring yourself back to meaningful action.

- How to spot and shift negative thoughts to change your whole focal point and vibration. You're allowed to have negative thoughts! Just don't make them the focus of your vibration.

- The importance of community, and surrounding yourself with positive people trying to grow.

- How to craft a positive narrative around who you are, what you're doing and who you're becoming.

- And how to change who you 'are' by changing your environment.

In this episode, you're going to become really intentional about your energy, your identity and how you respond to doubt and imposter syndrome. I hope you enjoy!
