In this insightful episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany unpack one of the most pervasive and rarely discussed challenges in personal and professional development: imposter syndrome. Through the powerful story of Claire, a successful architect paralyzed by self-doubt, they explore how high achievers can still feel like frauds despite overwhelming evidence of their competence.

This conversation dives into the hidden beliefs of “not enough” and “unworthiness” that often lie beneath imposter syndrome. Patrick reflects on his own journey of feeling like an imposter despite decades of business success, while Steffany shares how performance psychology has taught her — and the elite athletes she coaches — to make peace with their “inner fraud.”

Together, they reveal how imposter syndrome doesn’t just affect those who have already “made it,” but also holds back those who hesitate to start. Many people stay stuck in a cycle of needing more credentials or waiting for the perfect moment, rather than taking bold action from where they are.

They also explore the psychological tools like alter egos and avatars — inspired by athletes like Michael Jordan and performers like Beyoncé — that can help people overcome moments of self-doubt and show up fully, even under pressure. The episode highlights how comparison, judgment, and societal expectations especially around appearance and success, often intensify feelings of fraudulence — especially for women.

Ultimately, Patrick and Steffany call listeners to examine where imposter syndrome may be quietly sabotaging their growth, and how authenticity, self-reflection, and gratitude for one’s journey can collapse those limiting beliefs.
