Episode notes
Give Yourself Permission To Start
- Do give yourself permission to start; nobody else will hand it to you in adulthood.
- If your work helps people and you can do it, start without external approval.
Imposter Syndrome Signals Growth
- Imposter syndrome is universal and signals growth edges, not incompetence.
- Entering the feared "room" is the only way to expand your identity and skills.
Focus On Your Judgment, Not "They"
- Stop centering decisions on what hypothetical "they" will think and trust your judgment.
- Focus on what you want and who you want to become instead of imagined critics.
