Breakthrough Conversations with Rhoda & Co
The Only Imposter is the Syndrome
In this powerful episode, Rhoda sits down with leadership strategist and OD expert Joani Alsop to reframe one of the most pervasive challenges facing women in leadership: imposter syndrome.
But Joani doesn’t believe you are the imposter. She believes the syndrome itself is lying to you, and today, she breaks down how to silence that false narrative while owning your power.
In this episode:
Why self-doubt often rises with success, not failure
How systems, not individuals, can trigger the “imposter” feeling
Practical reframes and rituals for stepping into rooms with confidence
Language shifts that help you stop minimizing and start owning
This conversation is for every woman who has ever over-prepared, over-apologized, or over-delivered just to feel worthy. You’re not alone, and more importantly, you were never the imposter.
Call to Action
If this episode reminded you of your own quiet battles with confidence, take a moment to reframe the story you tell yourself. You were never the imposter, the feeling was.
