Empowering Women: Overcoming Impostor Syndrome and Self-Sabotage

April 11, 2024 • Lucia Gallegos • Season 1 • Episode 5

So, what exactly is imposter syndrome? It's not just about work stuff; it can mess with your head in all kinds of situations, like with your family or in relationships. But it's widespread at work, especially for women.

Imposter syndrome happens when even though you've done well, you still feel like you're not good enough or like you don't deserve your success. This makes you worry and stress out, and then you try even harder to be perfect, which makes things worse.

in this episode, I talk about what impostor syndrome is, and I also provide tools to manage it.
