Have you ever felt like you don’t really deserve your success? Maybe you got a promotion, landed a great job, or accomplished something impressive, but instead of feeling proud, you worry that you’ve somehow fooled everyone into thinking you’re more capable than you really are. You wonder if it’s only a matter of time before someone figures out you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s often called imposter syndrome, and it can affect even highly successful, accomplished people.
But here’s an interesting twist: What if feeling like an imposter isn’t necessarily a bad thing? What if those feelings of self-doubt are actually a sign that you’re challenging yourself, growing, and doing something that matters to you? According to Dr. Jill Stoddard, the goal isn’t necessarily to eliminate self-doubt but to stop letting it dictate what you do. She is a mental health care provider and author of the book Imposter No More: Overcome Self-Doubt and Imposterism to Cultivate a Successful Career (https://link.amazon/B04uwlI1v). Listen as she explains why so many capable people feel like frauds, how trying to prove yourself can sometimes make things worse, and why feeling uncomfortable or uncertain may mean you’re exactly where you need to be. You’ll also discover how to quiet that critical voice in your head and move forward with confidence, even when you don’t feel particularly confident.
