Description

In this episode of She Who Paints, I’m opening up about something that nearly every creative faces but rarely talks about: imposter syndrome.

I share the raw truth of what it felt like to experience it in the middle of my solo art show — a moment that should’ve felt like a peak — and again while building my meditative painting course.

We’ll talk about how these inner doubts creep in just as we’re about to level up, and how they can sabotage not only our self-worth, but also our earning potential — especially for women. Inspired by Rachel Rodgers’ insight in We Should All Be Millionaires, we’ll explore how imposter syndrome keeps female creatives small and underpaid. Plus, I walk you through a simple but powerful journaling practice I use called the Triangle Technique, designed to move you through the emotion, rewire the belief, and reconnect to your desired outcome. If you’ve ever felt like a fraud or questioned your worth as an artist or entrepreneur — this episode is your invitation to reclaim your power.

In this episode: My personal experience with imposter syndrome during big milestones How imposter syndrome costs women creatives real money Why your fear is often a sign you're on the right path The Triangle Journaling Technique to move through self-doubt Encouragement for showing up anyway
