Imposter syndrome cost me thousands of dollars.
I had this overwhelming sense of well why should I be charging $10k for a client project? There’s so many other people out there that know more than I do, that are better than me and that who deserve to be earning that much.
It feels like I shouldn't be, because who the hell am I to tell you about imposter syndrome. I'm no expert. Of course I'm not. I'm just a business gal with a whole lot self doubt who feels the same way you do.
Small business owner affirmations for success.
Affirmations are a great practice to help you ease into your day, your workload, your creative spirit. They are an effective tool, when practised daily and with intention, to helping change your mindset to be more positive and abundant.

And by that, I mean, answering emails, replying to texts, or feeling the need to reply to every single DM.

Stop getting in your own way.

You can overcome self-doubt. Or at least learn to not let it consume you.
We know you’re feeling the overwhelm. We are too.
Instagram, TikTok, conversations and life in general is feeling all very doomsday-prepper overwhelming and it’s hard to not consider the future of your business in uncertain economic times. Because, we’re all for talking about hard topics, there’s a genuine air of fear and panic that is running rampant across our socials right now. And we’re feeling all the feelings!
