Hey beautiful, let me ask you this—have you ever walked into a room and instantly questioned if you belonged there? Like you had to shrink, prove, or perform just to feel worthy of the seat you already earned?
Then this episode is for you.
I’m your host, Andrea B. Flintroy—therapist, confidence coach, minister, wife, mother, and your personal hype woman when that imposter voice starts whispering lies.
Today, we’re unpacking the truth about imposter syndrome—what it really is, how it shows up (especially for Black women), and how we dismantle it from the inside out. Because listen… you are not in the room by accident. You are not a fraud. You are the assignment.
And I brought backup.
I’m joined by the powerhouse Dr. Shanae Herron—educator, leadership executive, faith-led entrepreneur, and a woman who knows what it means to take up space in systems that weren’t designed with us in mind. Together, we’re calling out the lies that try to keep us playing small and reclaiming the truth that you belong here.
You’ll hear:
• My personal story of being invited to speak on a panel and the moment I almost disqualified myself
• Why credentials don’t determine calling—and how God qualifies the willing
• A powerful conversation with Dr. Herron on confidence, faith, and fighting the imposter syndrome lie
• Practical steps to reframe the lies and speak truth back to yourself
PLUS: In our She Asked, I Answered segment, I’m answering the question, “I’ve been praying for clarity, but I still feel unsure. How do I move forward when I don’t feel completely confident?” Sis, this one is honest, faith-filled, and full of practical wisdom you can apply right now.
And of course, you’ll get your next Show Up Challenge—a weeklong practice to help you replace the lies you've believed about yourself with the unapologetic truth of who you really are.
Sis, this episode is your reminder that you don’t owe anyone a smaller version of yourself. The world needs the full, bold, present YOU.
So hit play. Let’s dismantle the lie. Let’s take up space. Let’s show up.
You ready?
