Episode notes
Imposter Syndrome Is A Feeling, Not A Fact
- Imposter syndrome isn't a failure of ability or worth but a feeling of being a fraud about to be discovered.
- Recognizing it's not about your credentials reframes the problem and opens different solutions.
Doubt Springs From Primal Unanswered Questions
- Imposter feelings often tie to deep primal questions like "Am I enough?" rooted in childhood and open loops.
- These unresolved questions drive doubt when you move into unfamiliar or higher-stakes territory.

- Credentials act like short-lived 'shots' of confidence that don't eliminate underlying imposter feelings.
