Ever feel like you don’t belong — like everyone else has it figured out and you’re just faking it? You’re not alone.

In this episode of The Steady Steps Podcast, we unpack imposter syndrome with help from stories and quotes by Kate Winslet, Maya Angelou, Tom Hanks, and more.

Discover why even the most accomplished people doubt themselves, and how preparation, practice, and perspective can give you the confidence to move forward.

Boundaries aren’t walls that keep everyone out — they’re fences with gates. You decide what comes in and what doesn’t.

Too often, we think of boundaries as selfish or negative, but the truth is they create space for healthier relationships and a more focused life.

In this episode of The Steady Steps Podcast, we explore why boundaries matter, why they’re so hard to set, and how healthy limits protect your time, energy, and peace of mind.

Why is it so hard to ask for help? For many of us, the struggle runs deep — tied to pride, fear, or the belief that needing help somehow makes us less. In this episode, we explore why asking for help isn’t weakness but wisdom.

We’ll look at the hidden cost of silence, the pressure to appear self-sufficient, and what real courage looks like when we let others come alongside us.

We’ll draw lessons from The Lord of the Rings — a powerful reminder that none of us were meant to carry our burdens alone. And we’ll also remember Dave Dravecky — the Major League pitcher whose comeback from cancer inspired millions, but who later discovered that the bravest step wasn’t pitching again, it was seeking counsel when depression struck.

If you’ve ever hesitated to reach out, this episode is an invitation to take that next step — to discover that wisdom and courage often begin with the same words: “Would you help me?”
