Id love to hear from you! -chels

Struggling with imposter syndrome and wondering if authenticity really matters? You're not alone. I recently faced a creative block with Built Not Born, wrestling with the challenging balance of staying true to myself while fearing the loss of listeners. This episode uncovers my journey in aligning the podcast with my personal vision and faith, confronting the raw insecurities that imposter syndrome often conceals. We discuss the courage needed to express personal faith publicly, and how embracing vulnerability can actually strengthen your sphere of influence.

Moving through the maze of self-doubt, I share insights on the importance of recognizing and confronting these fears. Formal education doesn’t define your credibility, especially in entrepreneurship where personal growth and authenticity can speak volumes. The conversation reveals actionable strategies to build self-worth and nurture self-belief, inviting you to appreciate your unique journey and break free from societal pressures. By questioning the roots of our insecurities, we learn how authenticity helps us overcome these personal hurdles.

Finally, the episode encourages you to honor your body's needs and set boundaries as a path to true contentment. From challenging diet culture's impact to celebrating personal achievements, the focus is on self-acceptance and authenticity. I share a heartwarming story about raising funds for a church donation, illustrating the power of embracing who you truly are. This authentic journey brings a vital reminder: true success stems from valuing your personal milestones and being genuinely yourself, without the weight of comparison.
