You’re Not an Imposter. You’re Becoming.

Written By Amy Kiernan

Struggling with imposter syndrome? Feeling like you don’t belong in a new job, leadership role, or version of your life? You’re not alone - and you’re not an imposter.

In this episode of The 10-Minute Shift, I offer a new perspective on imposter syndrome. What if it’s not something to fix, but a sign that you’re growing? That your identity is expanding, and you’re in the in-between - no longer who you were, not yet who you’re becoming.

We’ll explore identity gaps, the myth of needing to “feel ready,” and why having a beginner’s mindset isn’t a weakness - it’s part of the journey. If you’ve ever felt like you’re pretending, this is your reminder: you’re not pretending. You’re evolving. And you’re allowed to be new.

If you’ve landed here, you’re probably someone who thinks deeply, leads boldly, and craves a different kind of conversation about success, leadership, and life.

Not the over-polished, corporate-speak kind, but the real, human, meaningful kind.

I’m Amy, a self & business leadership coach, and I write, speak, and coach on confidence, leadership, and transformational growth, helping leaders, founders, and executives step into who they truly want to be and drive their businesses forward with clarity and conviction.

I write about self-trust, decision-making, confidence, and the magic of leading both a business and a life that feels really good to live. If you’d like to connect, you can find me on socials at @heycoachamy, or get in touch with me.
