This episode of the Live Better Seller Better Podcast features Alli Rizacos, imposter syndrome coach who teaches a different way of defining and tackling what imposter syndrome really is.Imposter syndrome can actually be the voice that tells you that you are spending your time on the wrong thing for the wrong purpose. It can actually be a wakeup call to push you to do what truly makes you feel you.Also, imposter syndrome has its roots in childhood and the need to impress our parents, with a specific mention of daddy issues as a universal phenomenon regardless of gender. In KD's case, it manifested as the need to be perfect in order to be loved.Gratitude journaling is an essential practice to combat imposter syndrome. Visualize who you want to be and how you want to show up, just like with professional athletes, and write it down. This is subconscious programming that lets you think about it in the morning and to create it for you in that moment. Remember, worry is a waste of imagination, and though it may go against our reptilian brains, we can use our capacity to visualize for greatness instead of worry, which is tied to survival instincts which no longer serve us today.SHOW NOTESHIGHLIGHTS03:29 Addressing the need for a coach and striking out on her own 09:11 Get over imposter syndrome: Take it as a sign of a different, larger purpose12:52 Growth and Community: Clarity of values informs on Alli's purpose17:10 When you feel like yourself, there is no imposter syndrome21:53 Alli's coaching: Getting to the root of the voice that judges you in your mind26:58 Overworking is a manifestation of imposter syndrome31:23 Gratitude journaling: Use your imagination not for worry but for greatness35:50 Honor your values, practice gratitude journaling, and find your tribe39:33 Connect with Alli and beat your imposter syndrome and flourishQUOTES10:07 Alli: "I was feeling major imposter syndrome, by the way, when I was the Head of Enablement because I had never had that kind of title before, I'd never really done these types of projects, and utilizing my skills and my resource to literally figure it out as I go."11:23 Alli: "Imposter syndrome sometimes is actually alerting you to the fact that you are actually an imposter because this job is not what you're meant to be doing.

What does it tell you? What does it sound like? What does it look like? What does it feel like? And that judge-y voice shows up, it comes from your childhood."24:36 KD: "Mine was perfection. Very similar. In order to be loved, I thought I had to be perfect. I couldn't mess up.
