Episode 2190:
Rachael Kable explains what imposter syndrome is and lays out five signs of it, including feeling like a fraud despite clear evidence, overworking to the point of burnout, sabotaging your own success, crediting achievements to luck, and treating mistakes as proof of fraudulence. She then shows how it holds people back, eroding confidence, discouraging them from asking for help, and interfering with self-reassurance after a setback. In part one she focuses on recognizing the pattern before it costs more professional growth.

Quotes to ponder:
"Imposter Syndrome occurs when you doubt your knowledge, skills, and abilities and you feel like a fraud - even when there's clear evidence to suggest that you're not."
"Success can be too uncomfortable because you don't feel like you deserve it, so you act in ways that sabotage your success in order to remain safe and comfortable."
"The longer Imposter Syndrome continues, the more it can erode away your confidence and hold you back from achieving success."
