Imposter Syndrome - what is it and how to deal with it

Imposter syndrome is something that comes up for almost all of us, at some point in our life. For some, it’s a constant feeling we have to battle with, for others, it comes and goes. Either way, it’s a term that’s becoming more widely used, particularly when it comes to female entrepreneurship.

I did a little bit of research, and one of the definitions for imposter syndrome, is this:

‘the inability to believe that one’s success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one’s own efforts or skills’; as well as

‘a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success’.

Is Imposter Syndrome something you struggle with? In this episode, I explore a couple of ways in which we can deal with Imposter Syndrome, and raise our awareness of when it comes up.
