Have you ever felt like you don’t deserve your achievements—or
worried that one day you’ll be “found out”? You’re not alone.
Research shows that up to 82% of people experience impostor
syndrome at some point in their lives.
EquiTeam’s Liz Daniels and Louise Gillings chat about the feeling
that you don’t belong as Liz shares her experiences from the
British Dressage National Championships.
In this episode, we explore what impostor syndrome is, why it shows up and how it can impact confidence and enjoyment levels. More importantly, we share practical strategies to challenge those feelings—like celebrating wins, seeking mentorship, and building supportive safe communities.
Join us as we open up the conversation, reduce the stigma, and learn how to replace self-doubt with self-belief.
