You finally get the win… then your brain whispers “you don’t belong here.” In this episode I break down why imposter syndrome hits hardest in your 20s, how social media warps your self-image, and a simple playbook to act with confidence before you feel ready. We’ll cover reframes, evidence stacking, and a quick test to tell humility from self-sabotage - plus a community Q&A at the end.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why imposter syndrome = proof you’re growing
✅ How to stop comparing your Year 2 to someone else’s Year 10
✅ “Confidence follows competency” (and how to build both)
✅ A 4-step toolkit: reframe, stop the comparison, collect evidence, talk it out
