Imposter Syndrome

In this week’s episode of Breen Time, Sabrina explores a struggle that affects far more people than we realise — especially those who are capable, committed and quietly high-achieving: impostor syndrome.

That persistent feeling of being a fraud.

The fear of being “found out.”

The belief that your success is down to luck rather than ability.

In this episode, Sabrina gently unpacks what impostor syndrome really is, why it shows up so strongly in thoughtful and conscientious people, and how it can quietly shape our choices, confidence and sense of worth. Rather than treating it as a personal flaw, she reframes it as a learned pattern - one that can be recognised, challenged and softened.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• Why impostor syndrome is not humility, but hidden self-doubt
• How perfectionism, comparison and upbringing feed the inner critic
• The real cost impostor syndrome takes on confidence and opportunity
• Why high performers are often the ones who feel it most
• Practical, compassionate ways to start trusting your own record

With honesty and warmth, Sabrina invites you to look at that inner voice with curiosity rather than judgement, and to begin separating your achievements from your fears. This episode isn’t about forcing confidence — it’s about building trust in yourself, one honest step at a time.

If you’ve ever struggled to accept praise, hesitated to step forward, or quietly questioned whether you truly belong, this episode offers reassurance, clarity and a grounded way forward.
