Episode 12: How to Overcome the Imposter Syndrome by Jill Douka MBA, MCC

Do you ever feel like a fraud—even when you’re winning?

You're not alone. An estimated 70% of high achievers experience Imposter Syndrome at some point in their lives. And today, we’re talking about how to turn that fear into fuel.

In this raw and honest episode, Jill shares her personal story of walking out of one of the most prestigious entrepreneur programs in the world—feeling completely out of place—and how she came back in, stronger than ever.

You'll learn:

  • The neuroscience behind Imposter Syndrome—and why it’s actually a sign of growth

  • Five science-backed tools to transform fear into power

  • The brain regions that activate when you feel like a fraud (and how to calm them)

  • Why journaling your wins builds lasting confidence

  • Why confidence doesn’t come first—it comes after you act, again and again

From triathlon races to top-tier masterminds, Jill opens up about showing up even when she felt like the least qualified person in the room.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself, compared your progress to others, or feared being “found out,” this episode will help you reframe that fear into a catalyst for personal and professional expansion.

Listen now and take one small step toward seeing yourself as you truly are: whole, capable, and worthy of your success.
