Thrive in Life with Amanda Kate
Stop Putting People on Pedestals
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the people you admire aren't proof that you're behind...
What if they're proof of what's possible?
In this episode, I'm sharing one of the biggest mindset shifts I had while attending a business event in Arizona, surrounded by seven and nine-figure business owners, speakers and mentors I'd admired for years.
From the outside, it's easy to believe successful people have something we don't—more confidence, more certainty, more discipline, more courage.
But here's what I realised...
They're just people.
They have fears.
They doubt themselves.
They make mistakes.
They have hard days.
The difference isn't that they're extraordinary.
The difference is they've continued to back themselves despite the fear.
In this episode, we explore why putting people on pedestals can quietly erode your confidence, how comparison disconnects you from your own power, and why the qualities you admire in others are often reflections of strengths that already exist within you.
In this episode, we'll explore:
- Why we naturally idolise successful people
- The hidden cost of putting others on a pedestal
- How comparison causes us to outsource our confidence
- Why proximity changes the way we see success
- The difference between admiring someone and diminishing yourself
- How to use inspiration as evidence of what's possible instead of proof you're not enough
- Practical mindset shifts to help you back yourself and step into your own potential
If you've ever caught yourself thinking...
"She's just got something I don't."
This episode is your reminder that she doesn't.
She's simply showing you what's possible when someone keeps saying yes to themselves.
If this conversation resonated with you, I also recommend listening to my earlier episode:
Imposter Syndrome Isn't a Syndrome — It's a Mirror
It pairs perfectly with this episode, exploring why feeling like an imposter isn't evidence that you don't belong—it's often a sign that your identity is catching up to your growth. Together, these two episodes will help you stop seeking permission, trust yourself more deeply, and step into the next version of you with confidence.
