Imposter Syndrome: Why Success Feels Like It Doesn’t Belong to You

from Grow in English with Victoria · host Vicky Madeira

In this episode of Growing English with Victoria, we explore something many people experience but rarely talk about: imposter syndrome.That quiet voice in your mind that appears when you start growing, achieving, or stepping outside your comfort zone.It tells you that you don’t belong.That someone else deserves your success more than you do.That you’re somehow a fraud.But the truth is, imposter syndrome often appears right when you are evolving into a new version of yourself.In this episode, I share my personal experience as an English teacher in Mozambique competing in a global online space, and how I learned to silence that voice.We’ll talk about: • why imposter syndrome appears • how to separate thoughts from reality • the power of affirmations • documenting your achievements • and why growth requires letting go of the old identity you once had.Because becoming who you’re meant to be often means releasing who you used to be.
