Welcome back to Have Good Ripple Effect! I’m Lisa Even, and today we’re tackling a topic I think everyone can relate to: Imposter Syndrome. You know that little voice that says, “You’re not good enough,” or “Who do you think you are?” Whether it’s in your career, personal life, or even friendships, those sneaky feelings can pop up when you least expect them.

In this episode, I share a hilarious (and muddy!) story about my minivan trying to “act” like a Jeep and how it reminded me of moments where I’ve felt like an imposter. But more importantly, I’ll walk you through the two-step strategy I use to combat imposter syndrome: Grounding Thoughts and Get-Through Phrases.

Join me as we explore:

• What imposter syndrome is and how it shows up in everyday life
• The power of grounding thoughts to calm self-doubt
• Why having a pre-planned “get-through phrase” can help you handle tough moments
• Personal examples of how these tools have helped me in business, friendships, and family life
• How you can start practicing these strategies today to overcome imposter syndrome and step into confidence

P.S. If you know someone struggling with imposter syndrome or chasing a big dream, share this episode with them. Let’s create a ripple effect of confidence and courage!
