Here's the deal: Today, I'm walking you through one of my deepest fears...being "found out." In 2021 I wrote a book. During this time, I had massive discoveries. One was that I had a hard time internalizing my accomplishments. I also discovered I lived with a persistent fear of being exposed as a 'fraud.' This is also known as imposter syndrome. I share some examples of this in my life and the research I found that helped me see where my delusions around imposter syndrome were coming from.

I uncovered what this deep-rooted fear was all about: rejection. I used five tools from this discovery that helped me release this fear and step into a more loving and kind place with myself.
