Do you ever feel like a fraud, fearing that others will discover you're not as competent or deserving as they think? You're not alone. Imposter syndrome affects a staggering 70% of people at some point in their lives. But what if you could break free from its grip and live with confidence and authenticity?
In You Are Not an Imposter, Coline Monsarrat delivers a gripping exploration of this all-too-common condition. Drawing from her personal battle with imposter syndrome, which nearly claimed her life, Monsarrat courageously shares her story to shed light on the hidden struggles many face.
Understanding how our brains work became pivotal as every moment revolved around saving myself from further harm caused by deeply rooted beliefs.
After decades spent living under the heavy burden of imposter syndrome, I finally was able to break free and reclaim my confidence. By confronting all that fueled these destructive symptoms – low esteem, fear of failure, perfectionism, and needing approval from others – I was able to create a new way forward, one full of hope for success and fulfillment.
And after 25 years of living as an imposter, I finally broke my mask, piece by piece.
Perfectionism
Perfectionism can be a double-edged sword – while striving for excellence is commendable, it can stop you from achieving your dream.
SELF-DOUBT
It is easy to succumb to self-doubt and fear, but this is unfruitful and takes away from our power to achieve great things.
People-pleasing
People-pleasing is a dangerous trap to fall into. Seeking approval from others and striving to please as many people around us will not help us feel more worthy.
Confidence
Becoming confident is an essential skill to succeed in any aspect of life. By having faith in your abilities, you can achieve anything, yet without the foundations of confidence, optimal growth becomes substantially more difficult.
“When I was confronted with the reality that my health condition had led me to develop imposter syndrome, it was a wake-up call. I realized that by not acknowledging my own struggles and challenges, I was doing myself a disservice and risking my life in the process. The burden of feeling like a fraud in my own disease had taken a toll on my physical and mental health, leading to more diagnoses and a downward spiral. But with this newfound understanding, I was able to turn my life around. I made it my mission to understand the root causes of my imposter syndrome and overcome it, not just for myself but for all those who might be struggling with similar challenges. And in doing so, I discovered a new level of strength and resilience that I never knew I had.”
