As the New Year begins, a lot of us are thinking about goals, intentions, and who we want to become.
But before any resolution can hold… there’s a quieter frequency underneath it:
Self-worth.
Not the loud, confident kind. The subtle one that asks:
Am I really allowed to want more?
Am I actually qualified to hold space for this?
Is my voice necessary when so many others already exist?
If you’re feeling any form of imposter syndrome right now, I want you to hear this clearly:
Imposter syndrome doesn’t mean you don’t belong. It means you’re expanding faster than your nervous system is used to.
We don’t lead because we’re finished or flawless. We lead because we’re willing to be present, honest, and in process.
This year isn’t about proving your worth. Its about assuming it.
You don’t raise your frequency by becoming someone else. You raise it by letting yourself be fully seen where you are.
No shrinking and No waiting for permission.
That’s the real New Year shift.
