If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I don’t belong here” or “I’m not enough,” you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Imposter syndrome touches even the most accomplished leaders. But with the right mindset and support, self-doubt can be transformed into authentic influence.
In this episode of In the Groove with Todd and Jackie, we talk with transformational coach and author Heather Rippere about her book From Imposter to Influencer—a guide to moving past self-doubt and stepping fully into your presence and power.
Heather shares how she helps leaders and changemakers reframe imposter syndrome, shift into a growth mindset, and build influence rooted in authenticity.
We talk about:
🧠 Why imposter syndrome shows up—even for high achievers
💡 How a mindset shift can unlock new levels of confidence
🤝 The role of empathy and accountability in true leadership
✨ Practical steps to transform self-doubt into influence
🌱 Why authenticity, not perfection, is the key to lasting impact
This conversation is more than strategies—it’s an invitation to embrace your worth, honor your journey, and lead with courage.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
