Show Notes:
The great news about imposter syndrome is that you already contain everything you need to change your belief system and rewrite the story of belonging. It’s entirely possible to feel at home in your body and ditch the cycle of imposter syndrome一trust me, I’m living proof of it.
On today’s episode, I share the story of how I stumbled into the field of geology and struggled with severe imposter syndrome for many years. It wasn’t until I started diving deeper into my yoga practice that I was able to evaluate my thoughts and the stories that I created about them. I illustrate how my performance at work shifted when I started to collect evidence that I was qualified and capable of my position instead of believing that I was a fraud.
If you find yourself feeling like an imposter, you’re not alone. I offer up some questions to start tuning into those feelings and crafting a narrative that better aligns with your self-concept. Listen in to today’s episode to learn more about the root of imposter syndrome and how to work though those feelings.

About Your Host
I’m Cecelia, and I am passionate about helping people live the life they want to live and feel how they want to feel in their life. We do this together using mindset tools, nervous system regulation, and curious inquiry. I know that enjoying your life, feeling calm and even joyful is available to you.
If you’re ready to start right now, grab a recent workshop replay here on creating momentum.
Personally, I manifest in many ways- partner, mother, coach, sister, friend, daughter, citizen, feminist. I live with my husband and children way downeast Maine on a little bridge-connected island (after spending my first 35 years in cities). It’s beautiful here with the ocean and the wind.
I help my clients make big and small changes in life one step at a time.
No matter what’s happening in your life right now, I know you can feel different. I know that by working with your brain and nervous system, you can feel calm, content, joyful, AND you can still go after the big and small goals in your life (getting there will just feel different).
This process is simple and approachable.
You’re probably thinking- but it won’t work for me. I’ve tried it all or I was recently diagnosed with ADHD or I’m too old. But I promise, if you’re open to it, this work is not only transformative but suited for so many different kinds of people and brains.
