#21 - How to Conquer Imposter Syndrome and Unlock Your Potential - Romy van der Merwe

Imposter Syndrome is a common trait among high achievers and has been a recurring theme with many of the guests I’ve interviewed so far, and there's a good chance you’ve experienced this at some point in your life.

That's why, in this week’s episode, I’m excited to welcome Romy van Der Merwe, an imposter syndrome and career coach.

Romy shares her own journey of battling imposter syndrome, despite her impressive achievements as a competitive international swimmer—once ranked 11th in the world—and a successful real estate agent.

She discusses her own struggles, and offers practical advice for identifying and overcoming imposter syndrome with a few simple yet effective strategies.

I found this conversation incredibly insightful, and many of Romy's points resonated deeply with me, such as being a perfectionist, struggling with self-doubt, and always feeling rushed.

I really hope you find this discussion as helpful as I did and that you take away some valuable advice that helps you unlock your true potential.

And if you do find this episode helpful, all I ask is one favour - please could you share this podcast with a likeminded ambitious friend as it will really help me to grow the show.
