Absolutely resonate with this. That line—“my emotions are signals, not reality”—hit hard. Been learning to treat those thoughts with curiosity instead of judgment too.

Thanks so much, David! I'm thrilled this resonated. Imposter syndrome is so tricky, isn't it? On the one hand, we deeply crave the praise and feel terrible when it's not received, but on the other, when it is received, under no circumstances will we believe it. 🤪 May we pause, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves.
