Do you ever feel like an impostor?
We’ve all been there – despite decades of lived experience, it can be all too easy to succumb to the worry that we’re not as capable as others seem to think and that at any moment they’re going to catch us out as the frauds we fear we are.
Most of us have heard that inner voice whispering that we’re pretending to be something we’re not. If we let it, that feeling of “not-enough-ness” can paralyze us.
But what if we reframed “Imposter Syndrome” as “Explorer Syndrome”?
Because the truth is, doubt and discomfort aren’t signs of weakness – they’re signs of growth. They’re tangible proof you’re stepping beyond your comfort zone and expanding your abilities. And that’s what exploration and discovery are all about.
It’s not a matter of “faking it till you make it” – it’s about stretching yourself, building new skills, and embracing uncertainty.
So the next time you catch yourself feeling like an impostor, ask, “Am I exploring?” If the answer is yes, then you’re exactly where you need to be.
Lean into uncertainty.
That’s where transformation begins.
