Ever feel like you're faking it at work? Like everyone else knows what they're doing but you're just pretending? You're not alone.

In this first episode of our impostor syndrome series, I share my own embarrassing story of feeling like a complete fraud in my first branding meeting (spoiler: I totally made stuff up and got called out), and explain why impostor syndrome isn't actually a problem to solve.

Here's what you'll learn:

· The surprising history of impostor syndrome (and why it's basically the modern version of "bicycle face" from the 1890s)

· Why feeling like an impostor is actually a GOOD sign that you care and are growing

· The #1 biggest problem with impostor syndrome (it's not what you think!)

· Why it's important to separate "I am an impostor" from "I feel like an impostor"

Remember: You're not an impostor. You just feel like one sometimes, and that's totally fine. It means you're growing!

P.S. I'm working on something super exciting behind the scenes! It's private coaching with me that's more affordable than your monthly cell phone bill. Join the waitlist at lindsaylymancoaching.com/waitlist to be one of the first to know when it launches.
