Episode 15: Fear Who? 5 Steps to Shut Down Imposter Syndrome for Good

Ever had that sinking feeling like you don’t really belong in the room? Like you’re just one email away from someone tapping you on the shoulder and saying, “Hey, we actually made a mistake hiring you”? Yep. That, my friend, is imposter syndrome—and it’s time we kicked it to the curb.
If you’ve ever doubted your skills, minimized your wins, or felt like you’re faking your way through success, this episode of Corporate IT Girl: Rise, Shine, and Make ‘Em Remember You is exactly what you need. Because here’s the truth: you’re not an imposter—you’re a powerhouse. And I’m breaking down 5 steps to help you rewrite that story and own your worth like the Corporate IT Girl you are.
So, What Is Imposter Syndrome?
If you’ve ever thought:
❌ “I don’t deserve this promotion.”
❌ “Everyone else knows what they’re doing, and I don’t.”
❌ “What if they realize I’m not as smart as they think?”
…you’re not alone. At all.
Imposter syndrome is that sneaky little inner critic that tries to convince you that your success is just luck, not talent. And guess what? It’s a total lie. Especially for high-achieving women and women of color, because let’s be real—when you don’t always see yourself represented in leadership, it’s easy to question whether you belong.
But let’s be crystal clear: You do. And in this week’s episode, I’m diving into exactly how to shake off those doubts and step into the confident, unstoppable version of yourself.
