Description

In this episode, Will Diesel explores the idea of imposterism through insights from Amy Cuddy’s book, Presence. He reflects on how imposter syndrome shapes our self-perception and limits our ability to be fully present, highlighting the role of body language and self-acceptance in reclaiming confidence. The conversation offers practical ways to move through feelings of inadequacy, from using power poses to reframing self-doubt into growth. Ultimately, the episode invites listeners to recognize their worth, trust their growth, and keep showing up authentically in every space they enter.
