Tina Rexing is the founder of T-Rex Cookie, based in Minnesota but known nationally with her numerous media appearances, a scrapped episode of Shark Tank - and relentless pursuit to market her quality cookies fatter than your baby and bigger than your head. She’s an immigrant, a former corporate warrior, a competitive baker for nearly 20-years - and a fierce advocate for being honest and building your business. Her stories reflect her cookies, unconventional, unique flavor, and indulgent. You don’t have to be a baker or a business owner to relate. Just a good human with a sense of humor that’s not easily offended.

We like to think successful people always are 100% sure of themselves. Truth is, that's a lie. Imposter Syndrome is doubting your abilities even when you have proven to be successful. That inner battle can hold us back from truly challenging ourselves to get what we want. 

In this episode, Tina talks about Imposter Syndrome how it’s affected her, and how she’s overcome those mental hurdles to build and continue to grow a sustainable business. Joining her is author, speaker, and coach Heather Whelpley who specializes in empowering people to overcome their inner self-doubt.
