How Do You Overcome Imposter Syndrome: The Sacred Seed(s)


I practice remembering who I am. Daily.  I surround myself with people who will help fertilize and till the organic soil upon which I stand, the roots of my existence.  And for that I am grateful.

The journey continues...you can watch the full 6 min video on my IG page @ mamashujaa.

    Imposter syndrome does not disappear overnight, but it can be managed through mindset shifts and self-compassion. Replacing negative thoughts with grounded self-truths helps women step into their confidence more fully over time. Imposter syndrome

    Support and community also play a key role in overcoming imposter syndrome. When women share their experiences, they realize they are not alone, which helps reduce shame and strengthen confidence. Imposter syndrome

International Women's Day 2025

The weaving of moments that have altogether formed the woman I am today. The DNA that formed the foundation. The mindful acts that brought me grace, joy and freedom. The valleys that served as fertilizer of the seeds of faith. The insights that caused me to pause and connect the dots. The wings clipped in order to grow stronger. The inward journey to thank God, who is my hiding place. The awe of the peace that surpasses understanding. The One on whom I rely. The comfort of community that has the same faith. The promise of tomorrow. The gratitude that buoys me on every rising. The value of vision. The state of being strong and courageous. The clarity that comes with asking. Aligning with a path. The promise of tomorrow. For all these, I am thankful. π»π’Άπ“…π“…π“Ž 𝐼𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓃𝒢𝓉𝒾 𝓃𝒢𝓁 𝒲❀𝓂𝑒𝓃’π“ˆ π’Ÿπ’Άπ“Ž #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #WomenOfFaith #Gratitude

See the World, No Visa Required

Early last month a friend sent me an email with the subject FW: Student Cultural Exchange. "Exciting opportunity," the two words leaped at me as I slugged three short paragraphs to grasp the important details. Age range: 13-16, male or female. Commitment: 1 week, July 6th to 13th. I made note that only eight privileged friends were recipients of the message. Until I read the last sentence, "Feel free to share with others!" My friend is charming, but she is also practical. Interestingly, our thirteen-year-old conceded reluctantly to the novel idea of hosting a Chinese student for one week. My guess is that his regular summer routine - daily swim team practices, and swim meets every Thursday evening - causes little anxiety. In addition, sticking to his assigned school projects and reading lists, is easy and comfortable. Moreover, when we sat to discuss the opportunity that evening, he must have thought hard about the adjustments required, about coming out of a c...
