In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable about my own struggle with imposter syndrome—from publishing my first newspaper article in 2016 to launching this podcast. But here's what surprised me after years of working with patients: imposter syndrome isn't really about your job qualifications or professional credentials.

It's about the relationship you have with yourself.

Whether you're setting boundaries with a difficult parent, asking for help as a mom, navigating ADHD or autism, pursuing professional dreams, or facing a major life transition—that voice asking "Who do you think you are?" shows up everywhere.

In this episode, we'll explore:

✨ The difference between normal insecurities and imposter syndrome

✨ Why this hits women differently (and what the research actually says)

✨ How cultural conditioning teaches women to doubt themselves

✨ Real stories from my practice of highly successful women hiding their past

✨ Why your "messy" history actually qualifies you, not disqualifies you

✨ 5 practical strategies to rebuild trust with yourself

If you've ever felt like a fraud despite your accomplishments, questioned whether you deserve success, or worried that people would judge you if they knew your whole story—this episode is for you.

Remember: You're not an imposter. You're someone who's learning to trust yourself again.
