Imposter syndrome shows up for so many of us, but what if it is not really about being a fraud at all?
In this episode, I share a simple reframe that can shift the way you think about those moments of self-doubt. Instead of imposter syndrome, what if we called it beginner syndrome?
By changing the words we use, we can normalize uncertainty, reduce stress, and remind ourselves that it is natural to feel unsure when stepping into something new.
I also talk about when beginner syndrome is most likely to show up, how it has resurfaced for me at different stages of my career, and the small but powerful strategies you can use to calm your nervous system and quiet the negative self-talk.
Whether you are starting a new job, moving into a new role, or just feeling stretched, this episode is here to remind you that being a beginner is not a weakness, it is simply part of growth.
