“I swallowed a load of water and had a panic attack” - Imposter Syndrome in action
Last week I had to practise what I preach when it comes to Imposter Syndrome when I had a panic attack in the middle of Lake Windermere.
I'd signed up for my Open Water Lifeguard qualification and felt like a total fraud.
I was right in the middle of the lake, trying to keep up with the other swimmers, when I swallowed a load of water, which triggered a panic attack.
This is the raw, authentic story of what happened to me... AND the EXACT steps I took to break free of my Imposter Syndrome.

How to get your sh*t together
Everybody I’m speaking to seems to be overwhelmed right now.
Overwhelmed, burnt out, too many tabs open.
Part of it is the time of year, school admin seems to be off the charts at the moment, and the looming school holidays throwing everything into disarray.
And even if you don’t have kids, there is a LOT going on – the election, the Euros, July being a nightmare to schedule anything, clients cancelling, the algorithm on here going bonkers.
So many people I’m speaking to are feeling frazzled, and a lot of fear about how business is going – it’s genuinely tough out there for a lot of people.
You’d be forgiven for just pulling the duvet over your head and waiting until September when normal service resumes.
In today’s conversation I’m going to teach you some vital stuff.
Not only how to rise to the challenge and get everything done that you need to, but how to develop a bulletproof mindset so that whatever is going on externally, doesn’t even touch you.
Sound good? Let’s go!
How do you know if you’re successful?
Do you feel successful as an entrepreneur?
Are you achieving what you set out to achieve?
How can you measure your success?
And if you feel successful now, are you done, or are you ready to go for your next level?
We’re talking about some big questions in today’s conversation.
So many of us set off on the adventure of entrepreneurship, so busy doing the do that we forget to look up and check we’re still heading in the right direction.
Today is all about reconnecting (or quite simply connecting) with what success means to you.
I promise you’re going to feel excited and empowered as a result of this conversation.
Imposter Syndrome is killing your business
If you are a female entrepreneur who is not getting the results you desire.
If you’re frustrated, if you’re doubting you’ve got what it takes, if you’re feeling like a fraud.
Imposter Syndrome is the biggest reason you are not experiencing the results you want with your business right now.
Imposter Syndrome is emotionally exhausting, causing you to waste valuable time with self-doubt.
Imposter Syndrome is costing you thousands, if not millions, in lost revenue, just add up the cost of the opportunities you haven’t gone for, the times you haven’t backed yourself and taken a risk because of listening to your Imposter.
This conversation is all about why you MUST give Imposter Syndrome your full attention, if you ever want to achieve your potential and achieve the impact and income you desire with your business.
