113 - Imposter Syndrome: The Silent Killer of Growth (And How to Fight Back)

Ever felt like a fraud, like you’re not good enough, or that you’re just getting lucky? You’re not alone. Seventy percent of people struggle with imposter syndrome at some point in their lives.

In this episode, I dive into the mental war of imposter syndrome—why we feel it, how to fight it, and how to finally own your wins.

What You’ll Learn:

• The five red flags of imposter syndrome that might be holding you back
• How to use David Goggins' "cookie jar" technique to silence self-doubt
• Why perfectionism and overworking are traps—and how to escape them
• The power of talking it out and how to shrink imposter syndrome by exposing it
• How to reframe your mindset and turn doubt into your biggest growth signal
• The secret weapon of elite performers—focusing on progress over perfection

Key Takeaways:

• Own your wins. Write down your victories, big or small, and use them as fuel when doubt creeps in.
• Talk about it. Imposter syndrome thrives in silence. Bring it to the light, and its power fades.
• Reframe failure. Every stumble is a step forward—mistakes sharpen you, not expose you.
• Doubt means growth. If you’re feeling imposter syndrome, you’re probably on the edge of something big.

This isn’t just about getting over imposter syndrome—it’s about mastering it.

Let’s get after it.
