Shoot Me A Message!

I had the opportunity to have a kandid chat on the topic of imposter syndrome, a prevalent issue experienced by up to 82% of the population.

I was joined for this discussion by three incredible women who shared their insights and perspectives on the subject:

Kate Purmal, Business Intuitive and Author of “Composure: The Art of Executive Presence” &  “The Moonshot Effect: Disrupting Business as Usual.”

Kim Gross, Life coach, Creator of the Five-Step Power Pathway, and Host of the "Masks Off" podcast.

Melissa Chureau, Mindfulness teacher, purpose and mindset coach, and Host of the "Fully Mindful" podcast.

• Highly confident people who are good at what they do can also experience imposter syndrome - Kate Purmal
• Trauma is a root cause of imposter syndrome, and it is triggered by fear and high alert - Kim Gross
• Imposter syndrome is systemic in work cultures, and it affects underrepresented populations, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+. -Melissa Chureau
• To change imposter syndrome patterns, it is essential to be aware of them, own them, and take responsibility for changing them. -Kate Purmal
• Reparenting the inner child is essential for developing compassion and healing from self-doubt. -Melissa Chureau
