Episode 352: Imposter Syndrome in High-Achievers: Why It Happens and How to Stop It

If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, felt like you’re not qualified, or doubted whether you’re truly “ready” for the next step in your career or personal growth, this episode is for you.

Here’s the truth: Feeling like an imposter is often a sign of growth—not failure.

In this episode, I break down:

  • What imposter syndrome is and why it happens (especially to high-achievers).

  • Why imposter syndrome never fully goes away—and how to manage it when it shows up.

  • How your brain is wired for survival, not success, and why this creates self-doubt.

  • A simple mindset shift to stop fear from holding you back.

  • A powerful journaling exercise (from Existential Kink by Carolyn Elliott, PhD) to identify and overcome subconscious fears.

  • How taking action helps rewire your brain to build confidence and resilience.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in self-doubt, you’re not alone. Most high-achievers, entrepreneurs, and practitioners experience imposter syndrome at some point. In fact, most of the practitioners who have graduated from The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy (FNA) started in that exact place. The good news? You can train your mind to work for you, not against you.

Tune in now to learn how to reframe self-doubt and step into the next level of your growth with confidence!
