Do you ever feel like:

You don’t belong and question your existence?
An outsider forcing yourself to fit in?
You have nothing worthwhile to offer?

If so, you, my friend, are dealing with Imposter Syndrome...but you’re not alone.

This show has always been a form of journaling where I can work through shit I’m dealing with.

I always want to peel back the curtain and vulnerably share the season I’m in.

My hopes are to timestamp this moment and show you that EVERYONE second guesses themselves.

I’m also going to bake in some light bulb lessons, tips, and tactics I’ve learned to leverage these phases of imposter syndrome.

I want you to finish this one seeing Imposter Syndrome as:

A season for big changes ahead of you.
A chance to massively grow by leaning into the discomfort.
