Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Rewriting the Story of Self-Doubt

The Mid-Career Makeover Show

This episode dives into a topic that resonates deeply with so many of us: Imposter Syndrome.

In 2024, searches for imposter syndrome surged by 75%, with studies revealing that 78% of business leaders have experienced it at some point in their careers. Despite undeniable achievements, you may feel like you don’t belong—that your success is luck, not skill. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Imposter Syndrome doesn’t have to hold you back. In this episode, we’ll explore what it is, why mid-career professionals are particularly vulnerable, and how societal norms and workplace culture fuel self-doubt. Through my personal story of confronting imposter syndrome, I’ll share practical tools and strategies to reframe your thoughts, challenge self-doubt, and embrace your accomplishments.

You’ll learn to:
✅ Identify and rewrite the narratives holding you back.
✅ Build confidence with simple, actionable steps like keeping a “win journal.”
✅ Leverage the power of gratitude, feedback, and self-compassion to foster resilience.

We’ll also hear inspiring examples of leaders and trailblazers—like Sheryl Sandberg and Viola Davis—who overcame imposter syndrome to reach new heights.

This is your time to step into your power, own your value, and rewrite the story of self-doubt. Don’t let imposter syndrome call the shots—you do.

Takeaway: Self-doubt is just a story. Rewrite it, own your success, and step into the career you deserve.
