E223 – Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: How to Be Confident in Who You Are


In this episode of The Confident Woman Podcast, Rachel dives into the topic of imposter syndrome and shares her personal experiences and tips on how to overcome this confidence-crushing issue. 

I still remember the day when I was asked to speak at my first event in Beverly Hills. My heart raced, and I felt a wave of self-doubt wash over me. Thoughts of being underqualified and intimidated by the audience filled my mind. But I knew that I couldn’t let imposter syndrome hold me back, so I pushed through my fears and went on to make a genuine connection with the audience. My story serves as a reminder that imposter syndrome doesn’t have to hold you back. In this blog post, I’ll share my personal experience and provide valuable tips on how to overcome imposter syndrome and embrace your success.

What is Imposter Syndrome?

Imposter syndrome is when you doubt your skills and accomplishments and feel like you’re going to be “found out” as a fraud, even though there’s no real reason for it. It’s like you’re always waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder and say, “Hey, you don’t belong here!”

How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

Here are some tips to help you kick imposter syndrome to the curb:

  1. Admit it’s happening: When you feel like an imposter, recognize it and remind yourself that it’s super common. You’re not alone!
  2. Talk it out: Share your feelings with your friends or colleagues. You might be surprised to find out they’ve felt the same way before.
  3. Celebrate your wins: Keep a list of your successes and accomplishments, big or small, to remind yourself that you’re capable and deserving.
  4. Change your mindset: Instead of thinking you’re not good enough when faced with a challenge, see it as a chance to learn and grow.
  5. Get some support: If imposter syndrome is really getting in your way, consider talking to a therapist or counselor who can help you work through it.

Remember, we all have moments of self-doubt, but with some effort, we can push past it and shine our brightest. Ready to dive deeper into overcoming imposter syndrome and boosting your confidence?
