Overcoming Imposter Syndrome & Taking Yourself Seriously
Description
In this episode of The Full Circle Podcast, we take a deep and compassionate look at a mindset that quietly holds so many of us back: Imposter Syndrome.
Have you ever felt like you didn’t deserve your success? Like you’ve been faking it and any moment someone will find out? You're not alone. And more importantly - you are not a fraud.
Gillian explores the roots of imposter syndrome, the culture of perfectionism that fuels it, and how we can begin to rewrite the inner dialogue that tells us we’re not good enough.
This episode is your reminder that your worth is not defined by your achievements - and that taking yourself seriously is a radical and essential act of self-trust.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
🌀 What imposter syndrome is and why it shows up (even for high achievers)
🌀 The link between perfectionism and self-doubt
🌀 How to shift from conditional self-worth to unconditional self-acceptance
🌀 Practical tools to challenge your inner critic, including the “Brag File” technique
🌀 Why connection and vulnerability are key to dismantling imposter syndrome
🌀 How to reframe self-talk and build a more compassionate inner voice
🌀 A powerful mantra to help you step into your worth
Reflection Questions to Consider:
💭 What would your future self say to you today?
💭 Where in your life are you downplaying your potential?
💭 How would you show up differently if you truly believed you belonged?
Powerful Reminder from This Episode:
✨ “Acknowledging your achievements isn’t arrogance — it’s self-recognition.”
