Let’s talk about the little voice in your head.

You know the one.

The one that shows up right when you’re about to own the listing presentation, land the client, or speak on stage—and whispers, “Who do you think you are?”

Welcome to the not-so-exclusive club of high-achieving women secretly wondering if they’re just really good at faking it.

Spoiler alert: You’re not.

That voice? That’s not truth. That’s Imposter Syndrome wearing Spanx and holding a venti latte, trying to keep up appearances while slowly draining the life out of you.

And guess what? It thrives in high-powered industries like real estate—especially among the most qualified, most capable, and (ironically) most authentic women I know.

So if you’ve ever:

• Hesitated before hitting “post” on a thought leadership piece
  
• Over-prepared for a meeting just to “prove” you belong
  
• Said yes to a project even though your schedule was already on life support
  
• Dismissed your success as “just luck”
  

Then congratulations—you’re human. And also? It’s time to reclaim your brilliance.

Let’s Get Real: Imposter Syndrome Isn’t a Sign You’re a Fraud

It’s a sign you’re growing.

The only people who don’t wrestle with self-doubt are the ones not pushing themselves. Or sociopaths. And I’m betting you’re neither.

Imposter Syndrome shows up when you’re expanding beyond your comfort zone, doing big things, and daring to live from vision instead of approval.

So the question isn’t, “How do I get rid of it?”
It’s, “How do I keep moving forward anyway?”

Here’s how:

1. Ditch the Perfection Mask

People don’t connect with polished. They connect with real.

Being honest about your mistakes, missteps, and the messy middle isn’t unprofessional—it’s magnetic. Your clients and colleagues aren’t hiring a robot. They’re choosing someone who’s relatable, trustworthy, and human.

Try this:
Next time you feel the urge to “have it all together,” pause and say:
“Let me show up as myself today—and trust that it’s enough.”

2. Keep a “Damn, I Did That!” File

Imposter Syndrome has amnesia. You need receipts.

Start a digital folder (or a journal, if you’re old school) with every win, kind word, thank-you email, client love note, and personal victory—no matter how small. When the doubt creeps in, read through it like your highlight reel.

Because you’ve done too much to let one bad day rewrite your whole story.

3. Say What You’re Afraid to Say

You don’t have to shout. But don’t shrink either.

Want to stand out in a saturated market? Speak the truth everyone else is afraid to say. Share your real opinion. Tell the real story. Challenge the status quo.

Authenticity isn’t loud—it’s clear. And in a world full of filters and fluff, clarity cuts through like a diamond.

4. Stop Giving Your Power Away

You don’t need another approval. You need a reminder.

You don’t owe anyone a watered-down version of yourself just to be “liked.” Confidence isn’t arrogance. It’s owning your space without asking permission.

So go ahead—take up the room. Speak with authority. Wear the blazer and the bold lipstick.
(Or don’t. You’re still the BOSS.)

5. Remember: You Are the Damn Table

Forget “bringing something to the table.”
You ARE the table.

You’ve built it with your experience, your ideas, your vision, your values. So stop waiting for someone to pull out a chair and invite you to the conversation. You’re already at the head of the room.

Start acting like it.

Final Word

Authenticity isn’t something you unlock after you’ve “proven yourself.”
It’s what you lead with.

Because the world doesn’t need another woman pretending to have it all figured out.
It needs you—brilliant, bold, and beautifully real.
