Ep. 12 - Q&A Episode: Author Imposter Syndrome

Your Path to Publish

Imposter syndrome is a common hurdle for many authors. In this episode, we'll tackle it head-on and explore the science behind it. Whether you've already published a book or you're planning to, understanding and overcoming imposter syndrome is crucial.

Episode Highlights

• Defining Your Authorship: If you've written and published your work or plan to publish it, you're an author. Don't let doubts or criticism diminish your accomplishment. It's normal for not everyone to like what you write.
• Understanding Imposter Syndrome: Imposter syndrome is more common than you might think, affecting nearly 70% of individuals.
• Everyone Experiences it: Imposter syndrome isn't limited to new authors. Even as you grow and gain influence, doubts can persist. Sometimes, it's paralyzing, but other times, it fuels growth and better content.

Actionable Insights:

Reflect on how imposter syndrome is affecting your actions. Are you leaning into uncertainty and using it as a catalyst for growth? Or is it causing you to freeze and feel debilitated? If it's the latter, seek support from those who believe in your abilities.
