Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Self-Doubt at Work

Ever had that “who let me in here?” moment? Yeah. Welcome to the club no one applied to join.

In this episode of Little Moves, Big Careers, Caroline Esterson dives into the messy middle of imposter syndrome: where self-doubt isn’t a flaw, it’s feedback that you’re stretching.

No toxic positivity. No “just be confident” nonsense. Just straight talk about:

  • Why imposter thoughts hit hardest right before a breakthrough
  • How your prehistoric brain confuses growth with danger
  • Practical tools to shrink the spiral and move anyway

You’ll laugh, you’ll nod, and you’ll probably text a friend, “You need to hear this.”

Because you don’t need to be fearless. You just need to keep moving; even with the wobble.

Listen if You’re:

  • Newly promoted and wondering if it was all a mistake
  • Secretly convinced someone’s going to “find you out”
  • Tired of pretending you’re fine while Googling acronyms under the table
  • Ready to stop spiralling and start owning your brilliance, even with wobbles
