Ever feel like a fraud or imposter as a mama or mama-to-be? I know I have.
First of all, what is imposter syndrome? By definition, it’s the persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills.
Are you waiting to adopt a child and feel like a fraud evening thinking of yourself as a mom? Or are you holding your child in your arms and feel the sting of guilt or grief? Do you walk into a baby or children’s store to buy something and feel like everyone’s staring at you wondering, “Why is she here?” Ever feel like you’re not worthy of the children God has placed in your home?
Friend, this is a very real thing. I want to share a few reasons why you might feel like an imposter and different ways to combat this and step into your role as a mother.
