Season 1 / Episode 17 - ”Imposter Syndrome Has Nothing to Do with Your Abilities”

If you’ve ever thought, “Who am I to be doing this?” or “What if I’m not good enough?” , this episode is your invitation to stop questioning your worth and start reclaiming your self-trust.

In this empowering episode, mindset and identity coach Shana Kad breaks down the truth about imposter syndrome: it’s not a sign you’re unqualified, it’s a sign you’re evolving.

This isn’t about fixing your mindset. It’s about rewiring your identity so you can actually feel at home in the success, love, and growth you’ve already earned.

Imposter syndrome doesn’t show up because you’re not capable, it shows up because your self-image hasn’t caught up with your new reality.

Your nervous system is wired to seek familiarity, not expansion and sometimes, even growth can feel like danger.

This episode offers a grounded, honest perspective on what’s really going on when you feel like a fraud and how to shift it at the root.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• Why imposter syndrome isn’t a capability issue, but an identity mismatch
• How your nervous system mistakes visibility and growth for danger
• How past voices and internalised self-doubt still shape your self-image today
• How imposter syndrome shows up not just at work, but in relationships, pricing, and receiving
• A mindset shift to stop trying to “earn” what you already deserve
• The Future You visualisation technique to shift your inner dialogue and expand what feels safe
  

You’ll walk away with practical tools and powerful reframes to stop shrinking inside your own success and start embodying the version of you who belongs in every room you enter.

This is identity work.This is nervous system work.
This is unlearning who you were told to be so you can become who you already are.
