#380 - HOW TO BE BRAVE TO SHARE WHAT YOU'VE LEARNT: Inspire someone
Hi! As I sit here reflecting on this past weekend - where I had the privilege of speaking at the “Start Your Own Business” summit in Brisbane—I’m feeling grateful and inspired.

#374 - CONQUER YOUR IMPOSTER by AIison Shamir
I'm SO excited to share this week's episode with you – it's one I think so many of you will truly connect with. In this conversation, I chat with Alison Shamir, a globally recognised voice on imposter syndrome and the brilliant author of Conquer Your Imposter. It's such an important topic – because imposter syndrome doesn’t just affect beginners. It can hit anyone – even the most accomplished, experienced and successful among us – and hold us back from living the life we were meant to live. Alison shares her own powerful story of experiencing debilitating imposter syndrome, how it showed up in her career, and the breakthrough moment that helped her transform her life. We dive deep into what imposter syndrome really is (spoiler: it’s different from self-doubt!) and how we can start to change the inner narratives that are keeping us stuck. Here are three things you'll take away from this episode: A clear understanding of how imposter syndrome works – and how it’s different from everyday self-doubt. Tools and mindset shifts to help silence your inner imposter. Why your past doesn’t have to define your future. I personally learnt SO much from this chat – and even though I haven’t experienced imposter syndrome myself, I know many of you have. This is a must-listen. 💛 Take a walk, grab a cup of tea, and join us for this powerful conversation. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.
