In this powerful episode, Rhoda sits down with leadership strategist and OD expert Joani Alsop to reframe one of the most pervasive challenges facing women in leadership: imposter syndrome.

But Joani doesn’t believe you are the imposter. She believes the syndrome itself is lying to you, and today, she breaks down how to silence that false narrative while owning your power.

In this episode:
 Why self-doubt often rises with success, not failure
 How systems, not individuals, can trigger the “imposter” feeling
 Practical reframes and rituals for stepping into rooms with confidence
 Language shifts that help you stop minimizing and start owning

This conversation is for every woman who has ever over-prepared, over-apologized, or over-delivered just to feel worthy. You’re not alone, and more importantly, you were never the imposter.

Call to Action
 If this episode reminded you of your own quiet battles with confidence, take a moment to reframe the story you tell yourself. You were never the imposter, the feeling was.
 Share this episode with a woman in your world who needs that reminder today and tag us using #BreakthroughConversations so we can cheer her on too.
