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.
