Monday Muse #29 - Why You Feel Like A Fraud And What To Do About It

Struggling with imposter syndrome despite your success? You’re not alone. In this Monday Muse, I unpack the real reasons smart, capable, high-performing people secretly feel like frauds—no matter how many wins they rack up.

We’ll explore:
🔹 The tension between your public image and your true self
🔹 How a dysregulated nervous system creates feelings of self-doubt
🔹 Why intellect can drown out intuition
🔹 The habit of outsourcing self-worth to validation and achievement

Plus, I’ll offer practical tools to shift from fear to authenticity, so you can lead, live, and love from who you really are—not who the world told you to be.
