Feel like you don't belong in healthcare? Discover why imposter syndrome hits nurses and medical students hardest—and the proven strategies to overcome it for good.

You don't belong here.

At least that's what the voice in your head keeps saying—every time you walk into the lab, every time you study for your exams, and every time someone asks you a question and you're not 100% sure of the answer.

If you've ever felt like everyone else has it figured out except you, this episode is going to make a lot of things click.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• What imposter syndrome really is—and why it hits healthcare workers harder than almost any other profession

• The physical signs your body is reacting to something new (not that you don't belong)

• Why imposter syndrome shows up strongest right before a breakthrough

• How short-staffing and moral injury amplify feelings of inadequacy

• The identity shift that happens when you step into healthcare—and why your brain hasn't caught up yet

• Practical strategies to reframe negative thoughts and build your confidence

• Why comparing your beginning to someone else's middle is stealing your progress

This episode is for you if:

You're a nursing or medical student questioning if you're "cut out" for this. You're preparing for your certification exam and doubting everything you've learned. You're in your first clinical role and feel like everyone is watching you fail. Or you're an experienced healthcare worker who still feels like a fraud sometimes.
