Is Imposter Syndrome here to stay?

Have you ever believed that you would get to a certain point and suddenly be so sure of yourself that self doubt would just go away? That imposter syndrome would become a foreign feeling?

As I sit here and write this, I would love for that to be true. Even in the simple fact that I am putting my words out there gives me tremendous feelings of self doubt.

I have reached many new levels in my life and career. Each time imposter syndrome comes knocking like I have no right to have reached this point. Like I didn't just work my booty off to get to this point.

That uncomfortable feeling of doing something new. It could be a new chapter in your life - like buying your first home - or a change in your career - like a promotion at work.

One thing that holds true, even though it is very uncomfortable, each time I have been faced with imposter syndrome it is a telling sign that..

...you are on the right path.

It is an opportunity to remind yourself how far you have come.

A chance to check-in with yourself and understand the emotions better.

What is your intuition screaming at you?

I can tell you from experience that when you are feeling this way all it is telling you is that you are g r o w i n g, stepping out of your comfort zone, going for what you want, trying something new..

I dare you to stare imposter syndrome in the face and say "thank you" "I see you" "now I am going to kick some a**"
