With Mike Bisceglia filling in for Shawn Walchef, this Rising Tides Live conversation explored the challenge of fighting imposter syndrome and why self-doubt often shows up when you’re growing. Participants shared personal stories about overcoming insecurity, learning to trust their experience, embracing continuous learning, and recognizing that even highly successful people question themselves. From building confidence through preparation to staying authentic and reframing negative thoughts, the discussion offered practical advice for anyone working to silence their inner critic and move forward with greater confidence.

Homework Assignment
This week, pay attention to the moments when imposter syndrome shows up. Write down what triggered it, what your inner voice told you, and then challenge it with real evidence of your experience, preparation, or past success. By the end of the week, review your list and look for patterns. Often, you’ll discover that your self-doubt is far less accurate than you initially believed.
