2. Our self talk improves.
Impostor syndrome is very real. It comes form the belief that we are going to be ‘found out’.
The truth of course is that it’s likely that you are the only one that thinks that.
Maybe you are the only one that is not seeing the value that you bring.
- If we focus on contribution then we give the self talk a new narrative, a far more positive narrative.
- It changes because contribution is very easy to see and you can easily see the feedback loops yourself.
These new feedback loops are positive and healthy, impostor syndrome often isn’t.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
