Imposter syndrome
I am working to overcome my fear, which I hear echoed by so many coaches.
So I WROTE A POEM (copyrighted) about it that I hope can help others too.
The Convincing Impostor
Do you ever feel like an imposter, a fake,
Like you don’t deserve the difference you make?
Like someone will stand up and finally say,
She doesn’t really belong here, no way!
Think of the imposter on screen and in books,
So convincing because of their duplicate looks,
The fake one eventually has their cover blown,
They’re exposed only by intimate knowledge unknown.
But you — you have lived it, you know every part,
The struggle, the breaking, the healing, the heart,
Your life is the knowledge, your own living proof,
You have personal experience — you’re just sharing the truth.
To you it feels obvious from inside looking out,
But someone needs exactly what you’re teaching about,
What feels so familiar, so simple to you,
Is a breakthrough for someone that’s long overdue.
Do you really think you’re an imposter who schemes,
Manufacturing credentials nobody believes?
You’re just trying to help people, to let their pain go,
Because now you have a map and only share what you know.
You are not an imposter, a fake, or a fraud,
Your experience is real and your knowledge is broad,
The most qualified voice in the room today,
Is the one who has lived what they’re trying to say.
Not everyone will need the wisdom you teach,
If they aren’t in that pain, then they aren’t in your reach,
Not everyone wants you — that’s not rejection,
It’s just marketing, pointing you in the right direction.
You’re legitimate, valuable, and a little defiant,
You dare to not shrink and you dare to feel confident,
So stand up, show up, speak out, be seen,
The real you is who you were always meant to be.
