When you are a savvy woman on a mission to do more of what you love there are times you may feel unsteady and wobbly about who you are and what you are doing.

The exact feeling may be hard to explain – but for me, it’s something that is both physical and emotional - I feel it all over my body, specifically in my head, heart and stomach. Although the feeling is hard to describe – all I can say is that I feel like I want to throw up, slow my racing pulse down and get back to doing something that feels more familiar and comfortable immediately. Imposter Syndrome?

Based on a recent study conducted by Forbes – it appears more that 75% of professional women experience imposter syndrome and this number is even higher when it comes to entrepreneurs and women in business.

Many of us simply “push through” because, after all, “Superwoman” is our middle name and we don’t know how to show up any other way.

Lessons learning from my own dark days and by working with women who experience the negative effects of self-doubt, lack of confidence and courage – I have found connecting with the following can help manage the feeling of feeling like a fraud.

  • Essence (who you are)
  • Experience (what you have already done) and
  • Expertise (what you know)

Listen in on how to break through the fear and win.

Enjoy!
