Today's episode I am sharing a few personal stories of my own experience with "Imposter Syndrome" and trying so hard to belong, even when it was to my detriment through insane amounts of people-pleasing.
According to the Harvard Business Review "Imposter syndrome is loosely defined as doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud. It disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments. Many question whether they’re deserving of accolades."

In the show, I also mention a blog I wrote about comparison as it relates to my personal life. https://chrissy-82493.medium.com/comparison-is-the-thief-of-joy-7130cb3769f2
The first half of the show is me sharing many intimate and personal thoughts with the second half providing you an action list to take back your power, learn how to foster a sense of belonging in healthy places to belong in as well how to reframe your self-sabotaging thoughts when faced with trauma, triggers and conflict. One exercise I share is what I like to call "An Identity Trust Fall."
