Lucas breaks down the 'imposter cycle' and how perfectionism fuels it, while Luna offers a personal anecdote about her first leadership role and the 'fake it till you make it' trap. They discuss the power of documenting wins, seeking external validation, and normalizing failure as a learning tool. By the end, you'll have a concrete action plan to quiet your inner critic and lead with confidence.
