Episode Details

Ever wondered why accomplished women often feel like they're just faking it? Join Jo and Mindset Coach Sabina as we unravel the complexities of imposter syndrome in high-achieving women, a paradox where external success often amplifies internal doubts. Despite reaching career heights and financial stability, many women wrestle with a critical inner voice that questions their worthiness. 

We explore how these feelings lead to behaviours where women overcompensate to prove themselves, and discuss the importance of creating safe spaces to normalise and break this cycle of guilt. By shedding light on these pervasive myths of unworthiness, we aim to empower women to own their accomplishments with confidence.

We dig into Dr. Valerie Young's imposter syndrome categories, guiding listeners on a path to self-awareness and balance. From the Superwoman's burnout to the Natural Genius's struggle with challenge, we unpack these identities to help you identify and manage your pressures. Embracing support is crucial, especially in overcoming perfectionism and hyper-independence. Our discussion emphasises the power of community and collaboration, encouraging listeners to connect with like-minded individuals who celebrate their multifaceted identities. Join us to uncover strategies that can help you redefine success and tackle imposter syndrome head-on.

The Balance & Beyond Podcast Hosted by Jo Stone, founder of The Balance Institute

For women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.

We know high achievers, because we are one. This podcast draws on Jo's 20 years in global leadership and thousands of hours coaching executives and ambitious women: the patterns she sees, how to untangle them, and what it actually takes to keep your success without paying for it with yourself.

If something landed today, there's more where that came from.

And if you know a woman this would resonate with, send it her way.
