What if you stopped hiding behind perfection? What if you showed up exactly as you are, flaws and all? In this episode, Rachel sits down with Barb Betts for an eye-opening conversation about shedding the fear of judgment, embracing authenticity, and finally kicking imposter syndrome to the curb.
Barb shares her journey of living behind a secret, weighed down by shame and the fear of being judged. But constantly worrying about what others think and striving to please everyone left her feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Her turning point came when she realized that people are going to talk no matter what.
The conversation dives deep into the idea that imposter syndrome is just a story we tell ourselves—a lie that convinces us we’re not enough. Barb admits she struggled with it for years, constantly doubting her worth and downplaying her achievements.
Barb’s story is a reminder that living authentically takes courage, but it's the key to true confidence and freedom. Imposter syndrome will only hold you back if you let it, so rip the bandaid off, stop telling yourself those fake stories, and start living as the real you.
