Ep 165: Conquering The Critic Within, Speaking Truth With Confidence, and Using Insecurity as Fuel with Bianca Juarez Olthoff

Have you ever had feelings of insecurity and inadequacy? Ever felt like an imposter when surrounded by big names? Friends, today I get real about feeling like a fraud. That’s why I delve into the concept of imposter syndrome and that nagging inner voice that questions our abilities and worthiness. Some of the insights that I want you to walk away with are how to: Overcome insecurity and use it as a tool for growth Recognize your inner saboteur and challenge its negativity Use feelings of insecurity as a springboard for action, not self-deprecation I’ve had to battle with self-doubt and the voices in my head that whisper I’m not good enough. I want us to use self-doubt as a tool for growth, not a weapon of self-destruction. Ask yourself ‘If not me, then who? If not now, then when?’ Unleash your Godfidence to find your voice; The world needs your message! Let us know how you are taming your inner saboteur by tagging me @biancaolthoff. XO, B RESOURCES/LINKS Quote The beauty of that voice of insecurity is an earnest recognition that I'm not everything. But the dark side of that voice is when we let that voice convince us that we're nothing. Takeaways Imposter syndrome is common and can make us doubt our abilities and feel like frauds. The voice of insecurity can be used as a tool for self-reflection and growth. Humility is a choice and allows us to recognize our limitations while still using our gifts. We should remind ourselves that we are called to fulfill a purpose and use our voices. Asking 'If not me, then who? If not now, then when?' can help overcome self-doubt and take action. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!
