Embracing Imposter Syndrome: The Secret Ingredient to Success

About This Episode

In this episode, Julie sits down with Jennifer Fidder, a social psychologist and hypnotist with nearly two decades of coaching experience in health and wellness. Jennifer teaches others how to use the power of their subconscious mind to experience more happiness, health, and success.

Together, they blow open the doors on imposter syndrome, revealing why it's actually a sign you're on the right track and sharing the essential ingredients for transforming this "syndrome" into your secret weapon for success.

Guest Background

Jennifer Fidder is a social psychologist, hypnotist, and speaker with a background in health and wellness. With nearly two decades of coaching experience, she specializes in helping people harness their subconscious mind for greater happiness, health, and success. Jennifer was previously a personal fitness trainer and nutrition coach, giving her deep insights into the psychology of transformation and expertise development.

Fun Fact: Jennifer's favorite food is blueberries because they taste amazing, make the perfect grab-and-go snack, and are packed with antioxidants - the ultimate superfood for busy professionals.

The Reframe: Imposter Syndrome as a Guiding System

• Not a stopping system - it's information, not a roadblock
• Your body and mind telling you: "You're on the right track"
• Similar to anxiety - it's guidance about what's important, not something to fear
• A sign of leveling up - embrace it instead of fighting it

Practical Strategies for Success

The Testimonial Folder Technique:

• Keep a folder on your phone with client testimonials and positive feedback
• Screenshot compliments and success stories
• Review during tough days when self-doubt creeps in
• Reminder of the real transformation you're creating

Focus on Process Over Outcome:

• You cannot control outcomes 100%
• You can control your effort and approach
• Don't hang your happiness and self-worth on specific results
• Trust the process, especially when the bank account is a constant reference point

What's Next for Jennifer

Jennifer is launching her first in-person self-hypnosis workshop in over 5 years on June 28th in Fort Lauderdale. After running this exact workshop virtually for five years, she's excited to bring back the in-person experience and energy.
