    134 - Navigating Imposter Syndrome and Authenticity
    Oct 22 2024
    Have you ever questioned if you’re doing enough? I dive deep into the struggle between striving for perfection and embracing vulnerability. Hear how I wrestled with imposter syndrome during a high-stakes interview and the lessons I’ve learned. Sometimes, growth means releasing the pressure to be someone you’re not."I realized that in trying to be smart and impressive, I was losing the authenticity that makes me who I am." - Catryn Becker"Most people don’t get a coach until after they fail, but by then the damage is done. Success isn’t just about persistence; it’s about learning when to listen and adapt." - JT FoxxIn this episode, Catryn Becker reflects on her interview with world-renowned entrepreneur JT Foxx and how it brought out feelings of imposter syndrome. Catryn shares how nerves and the pressure to impress led her to step outside of her authentic self during the interview. She opens up about the shame and limiting beliefs she carried afterward and how revisiting the interview a year later allowed her to see it as a learning experience.During the interview, JT Foxx shares his thoughts on the balance between persistence and coachability. He challenges the notion that persistence alone is the key to success, emphasizing that true growth comes from learning, adapting, and being coachable. Foxx also discusses the myth of the self-made entrepreneur, explaining how even the most persistent people need guidance and mentorship to reach the next level. The conversation touches on the importance of listening to advice, avoiding unproductive repetition, and understanding when to change course. Catryn and JT’s dynamic discussion offers valuable insights for anyone navigating their own journey of growth, success, and authenticity.
