Ever felt like you're fooling everyone and going to be found out any second as a fraud? That you're not deserving of the recognition or success that you have? You're not alone - 70% of people experience imposter syndrome at one point in their careers from the most successful to those who are just starting out. We can learn how to overcome imposter syndrome by first identifying what it is,

The definition of imposter syndrome is:

is a psychological term referring to a pattern of behavior where people doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent, often internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud.

When I first started teaching yoga - this is exactly how I felt. I couldn't believe I was teaching at an amazing studio in NYC, Y7 Studio, and thought that everyone was going to figure out I had no idea what I was doing. I felt this way even though I had done the trainings, went through a mentorship program, and practiced every single week to improve. It still didn't feel like enough. But instead of letting it stop me - I pushed through. I kept showing up. My mentor helped hold space for me to grow and I got better. My confidence started to grow once I could see what she could see! Here I am two years later still teaching there and loving it so much.

We all experience being an imposter but it shows up a bit differently for each of us. Listen to today's episode to learn how!
