So, I’ve been getting a lot of requests to do a video on imposter syndrome, so that is what I’m going to do today. So if you have ever felt like you are not qualified or not good enough to do the job or to do something scary, maybe you’re a little uncomfortable and you feel like, who am I to actually do that job? No one is going to think I’m smart enough. No one is going to think I’m good enough. Who am I?  

If this sounds familiar, then you may have had imposter syndrome. 

We’ve all had it. I’m going to tell you when I had it years ago, back in 2014 when I got invited for my first international speaking event in Brazil. I was scared out of my mind and I was talking to one of my coaches at the time and I said, I do not believe I’m qualified for this.

When you surround yourself with people doing the things you want to do, it’s scary. My mentor has been trying to get me in there for 2 years and I always said no I have kids but part of me also had impostor syndrome. I’m not good enough to be around those people and in the same room. I may not necessarily be at their level, but I will work my butt off and learn and being around that group of people will inspire and push me to the next level.

Who am I to rebrand. And bring my mission to a way bigger level. Work with this super amazing high end designer. Spend a ton of money. Instead of DIY my logo like I have always done. Uplevel.
