Riding the Wave (and Telling Imposter Syndrome to Sit Down)

Something beautiful happened tonight.

It was the second session of Rooted Circle, and I came in hopeful—but what unfolded exceeded every expectation. One by one, each person opened up. Real stories. Real emotion. Vulnerability that filled the room like candlelight. It wasn’t performative. It wasn’t polished. It was honest.

And I sat there, watching this sacred unfolding, thinking: I get to be a part of this.

Let me be clear: imposter syndrome tried it. That voice always does. It whispered its greatest hits:

“You’re not qualified for this.”

“They’re going to see right through you.”

“You’re making this up as you go.”

But something new happened tonight. That voice showed up—and I didn’t believe it. Not really. Not anymore.

Because what I saw in that room was proof: connection is happening. Trust is forming. Growth is beginning.

And on top of that, I’ve had a handful of recent wins—those little (and not so little) nudges from the universe reminding me I’m doing the work I’m meant to do. They may not silence the self-doubt completely, but they sure do drown it out.

So today, I’m riding high. Not on ego—but on gratitude.

Grateful for the people who show up.

Grateful for the stories that get told.

Grateful for the courage it takes to begin again.

This work isn’t perfect. I’m not perfect. But it’s real. And that’s enough.

More than enough.

As always,

Sending Good Vibes!
