Episode 81: Balancing Impostor Syndrome With Success [featuring Megan Kelly]
Even the most successful therapists and entrepreneurs get hit with impostor syndrome from time to time.
It can leave you questioning the choices you make even when things are going well, and it takes resilience to combat it.
As an entrepreneur, you will often take risks, and not everything will turn out as you imagined it would. It's normal to feel impostor syndrome, but it's important to remember that feeling it does not make you a failure.
If you are a therapist and entrepreneur struggling with impostor syndrome and not sure how to work through it, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk with Meg Kelly, mental health counselor, host of the Mental Status Podcast, coach for therapists at Informer Coaching & Consulting, and the Anti-Work Therapist on Instagram.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Understand that impostor syndrome is a natural part of entrepreneurship.
- Learn how to use your impostor syndrome to strengthen your brand message and put your authentic voice into content creation.
- Identify ways to combat the moments when impostor syndrome hits the hardest.
Impostor syndrome basically comes with the territory of entrepreneurship, and even having success and big wins can sometimes be overshadowed by one mistake or negative comment. But this is a feeling we all experience to some degree, so you're not alone and you're not a failure for feeling it.
