Testimonials
Hey, I have a question for you! Have you ever walked into a room, a job, a project, or even a friendship/relationship and thought, “What am I doing here?”; “You can’t do this!”; “I am not good enough” “Do they even like me?”. Or maybe you’ve achieved something meaningful, yet you can’t let go of the fear or anxiety that you fooled everyone. You’re just waiting for someone to come up to you and say, “You made a mistake. You’re not supposed to be here.” That my friends, right there is impostor syndrome! And if you can relate to this, just know you’re in good company.
