06 May 239: Turn Imposter Syndrome Into Fuel
Imposter syndrome. We’ve all felt it. That sneaky voice that tells you you’re not good enough, smart enough, or qualified enough to be in the room. But what if imposter syndrome wasn’t a reason to shrink back… but an invitation to step forward?
In this powerful solo episode of The Gutsy Podcast, LauraAura shares how to flip the script on imposter syndrome—using it as fuel instead of an excuse. Through a deeply personal story of speaking in New York City (and the sweaty, bloated, vulnerable bathroom moment that nearly took her out), Laura reveals the mindset shifts that helped her own the room, embrace her magic, and walk away proud.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
✅ Why imposter syndrome shows up at your next level of growth
✅ How to tell if you’re using it as fuel or an excuse
✅ The pivotal decision you must make in the moment
✅ How to quiet the inner critic and lean into your power
✅ Why authenticity—not perfection—is what people really want
✅ A simple mantra to help you own your space
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong, questioned if you’re “ready,” or held yourself back out of fear—you need this pep talk in your ears.
