    Thank you Crystal!! I love your podcast. I am a nurse practitioner, And I have that imposter syndrome. Just before the pandemic, I was hired to work with brilliant researchers, scientists, medical
    doctors and nurse practitioners. We treat very complicated, very ill people. I know everyone else has way more education and experience and I wonder what I’m doing there! If I didn’t love the work so much I would have quit, because I felt that I wasnt good enough. The head of my institute, a world renowned researcher, once told me, Denise, your biggest problem is that you don’t believe in yourself. Clearly she did and does. I’m still in the game, because I believe my God chose me and will continue to equip me to do this work and to be just exactly where I am. Thank you Crystal, and I’m thankful to your dad Tony Evans. For generations of faithfulness has produced very good fruit.

    Oh my goodness, I had no idea how much I needed this. I am a 22 year old from South Africa. I am in my final year of law school and I recently got a great job at one of the best law firms in the continent. I have been self-deprecating in front of peers and freaking about before my term starts because I still feel like I got in by mistake. I didn't think about it from a purpose perspective, God located me for HIS purpose at this very time. Therefore, I AM 🥺❤

    I’ve been struggling with posting content on my ministry/ business pages because I feel like an imposter. When I began to feel God pulling on me to be a kingdom life coach 2 years ago, I was intimidated. I told a couple close friends what God was leading me to do and their response was “duhhh, you’ve always been the go to for godly advise in your circle” they seen it before I did, I had just been doing it all my life that it felt so minuscule. I still feel like an imposter even after starting my coaching business, creating logos, creating social media pages, booking clients… I STILL struggle with being like you said, even though I’m already doing it.🤯
    I am a mother, I am kingdom life coach, I am a business owner, I am a speaker, I am a leader, I am a creative. 🙌🏾

    Thank you SO MUCH, Chrystal!
    I struggle with being older (70). I often feel “washed up” and just not “with it” as I look at the other members of the Maxwell Leadership Team. At 68 years old I started my Speaking, Training, Coaching business and I have spent a lot of time shooting myself in the foot with self sabotaging behaviors because I didn’t believe that belonged in this field when it is all I have wanted for 25+ years. Helping leaders excel has been my passion since 1996.
    The reality is that I led teams in the corporate arena for 22 years, I was a part time entrepreneur for 12 years, and I’ve taught Business Communications, Introduction to Business, Leadership and Professional Development at the college level for 18 years. Now I even have to look at my own credentials and shake my head about feeling inadequate!
    Still, I keep feeling like I don’t have the qualifications.
    I thank God for all of the younger people on the Maxwell Leadership team who encourage me CONSTANTLY that I’ve got this and that God has me!
    My identity is: I am a Speaker and a Trainer and a Coach. I am an individual who helps leaders realize their strengths, become their best selves and to skillfully lead their teams and their organizations to the highest possible achievements!

    Thank you ❤️. I always struggle with being a black woman in corporate America or on a governmental level. I want to enter these arenas but I know its always a challenge for us. There are even many people who have boldly stated to black women that they don't belong in these spaces or they didn't earn their way and it was just handed to them. It's one thing to address the imposter syndrome from within, but it's an ongoing fight with people in society who try to constantly instill in you that you're not enough. It's exhausting 😪

What He has for you, is for "you" and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I lift you up to God, our father, for encouragement, protection, and wisdom as you navigate the day-to-day in the corporate world.

You're right, if God be for me who can be against me. It's good to stay connected with the right people for encouragement, to hear God and shut out negativity and other people's opinion. That will be true freedom. God knew there would be distractions and he has equipped us. Nothing surprises him! Thank for the reminder and God bless you 💜🙌🏼

      That's crazy that someone would actually day that to you! But then again, why would we be surprised since the Devil has been stirring hate and condescension since the beginning of time?
      Reading your post made me think about the movie "Hidden Figures." Those black female mathematicians were brilliant, yet they were treated as less than white people in many subtle and not so subtle ways in the workplace. They endured the slights and probed their mettle to open the door for more behind them. Perhaps you are destined to do the same, but to do so in Christ with a spirit of holiness.
      May God bless you to forgive and love when people are mean and hateful.
      May God bless you to smile and laugh when the Devil tries (and fails) to steal your joy.
      May God bless you to remember that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against spiritual wickedness in high places" which means the person you see is not the main enemy so you need a spiritual defense and offense to properly respond. (Eph 6:10-12).
      As the other sister said, those things are distractions. Stay the course. It's natural and healthy to feel and acknowledge the pain and anger. It's supernatural to give it to God and trust Him for the strength to keep going in spite of it.
      Much love, sis. God bless you. ✝️☝🏾👐🏽

    Honestly, I feel this way at my church. I have been placed in leadership because of my spouse but wasn't ready. Still not ready and dodging everything. I feel guilty cause I wish he would step down. The anxiety I get when called to do something is nerve wrenching ...especially when praying for others cause my words don't come the way it should. I'm still growing and trying to understand so how can I help someone else find understanding. Stressful.

    MY GOD!! This is a life-changing word for me. It finally occurred to me just this morning that I've been battling HEAVILY with imposter syndrome. From my job to the call on my life. My 1st book is finished. Why isn't it published yet? ME! I'm an Author and a Writer. Can I say it with confidence? No, i haven't been able to. I'm a speaker who has the gift of Edifying people. I can inspire a nation, but can I confidently affirm, I'm a speaker? No. But I MUST push forward ever so fiercely to the high calling of my faith.
    Chrysal, thank you so much for your transparency in this message. I can identify with every single word, even the weight loss part. Lost it and gained it back 4 times now. I'm on the way going down again and I too will keep going. But this message means so much to me and I'm sure it does to many others also. Your vulnerability gives people like me permission to be who we are as God has called us. God bless you ❤🙏🏾

    I love this. Imposter Syndrome is one of those silent issues that you don't realize it until you're knee deep into it. I also believe that we need to surround ourselves with people that will support and not contribute to IS. We are so vulnerable and when we don't have the right people in our corner, we can really find ourselves in an unhealthy place. Thanks for sharing on this!

    I so often struggle with imposter syndrome in my work contexts. Thinking I’m not enough and I’ll be found to be an imposter or that all the wonderful things that people say about me will be found to be a lie or it’ll be discovered that I’m not “that good” as I seem to internally believe about myself.
    But, watching this over and over, meditating on Ephesians 2:10 - I am God’s masterpiece has helped me and I believe it’ll help me more as I go. I am choosing to silence the voice of the imposter by deciding before I arrive who I am and walking in faith despite the faith that may exist.
    I am a smart and capable business woman.
    I am an good communicator.
    I am capable and good with people.
    I am full of creativity and wisdom.
    My voice matters despite external validation.
    Most of all, in any space or place or role I find myself in… I am enough because He has made me enough.

    This is where I am at in my life right now. I spent a career in banking mainly in Operations for about 18 years and after transitioning to another job within the Operations area. I went to the new Job certain that I would do well because I had the experience and knowledge. But the season was met with a lot of chaos and frustration that I was ready to quit. Just when I was about to, an opportunity arose for me to go into Human Resources as an administrator. I always envision myself to become a manager or vice president within a company and sure thought that Operation was my path to accomplishing this. I went into HR not really trained or knowledgeable about the ins and outs of HR so I've often struggle with wondering if this is where I am called to. My mind often wonders if I made the wrong choice or am I truly where I'm supposed to be, is HR the career and path God has for me. I often struggle at times even though I've been in Human Resources now for 2 years and have learned a whole lot I often feel that I'm not qualified or that people will see that I don't know what I'm doing or I am not qualified in HR. But I am still doing HR everyday. Thank you for your talk and helping me to recognize this truth of the impostor syndrome.

    First, Chrystal thank you for your transparency and example of exercising your Faith muscle and Heavenly call!
    This message on "Imposter Syndrome" is so right on time for me! God has declared to me that everything I've done up to now, prior my current now has been in preparation for this present now! I journal and what I am currently doing (Realtor® and Business Owner of services *cleaning | organize & declutter | redesign & staging*) was a desire that I journaled about in 2010 - 2012! God blessed these two careers to be birthed in the year of 2020 & 2021. However, I have not as of yet experienced the repetitive growth & success that God has declared in this. The "Imposter Syndrome", looking back on my life has been something that I have been allowing to hold me back (rooted in the spirit of fear), the what if's... All the while God has continued to show His faithfulness unto himself and this His creation in me! This message is exactly what I needed to hear to bless me in further embracing God's Grace to declare that "I am a Realtor® and Business Owner as I am doing the acts, work and practice of these. I trust God in all of His Omniscience, Elohim my creator that I am a Realtor® and Business Owner in accordance to the heavenly call of God on my Life to succeed in thing in which He has declared for my Life in the present now! This is my testimony! In Christ Jesus name Amen!

    I'm so glad I stumbled onto this video!! I've been working at my corporate America job for 24 years and at least once a year I go through this simply because I've been the only African American woman at this company who has lasted this long. Most get released after about 3 years. Now I'm working on a new department due to COVID-19 shortages and I'm doing the job but Imposter syndrome has crept up. So I'm thankful for this video! 😊

    Chrystal, I was sooo blessed by this teaching, part 1 and 2! I can't thank you enough for obeying God on choosing this topic and most importantly for being in perfect timing 🙏🏾 🙌🏽 ✨️ ❤️!
    I have been afraid that I would not be able to sustain who I AM, publicly when I have been doing it faithfully behind the scenes and showing up in my life for several decades! Thank you so very much! This is my TIME!💛🔥

    I struggle with this a lot. I thought it was a bunch of mental health diagnosis I've had but therapist could not find anything to diagnose. I then heard about imposter syndrome. I knew about it a long time ago but didn't realize I've been experiencing this all along. Thanks for the video

    I get what you mean. I am about to be 58 years old, and being a writer was my dream since elementary school. I have a Master's in Social Work, but have yet to get a (paid) job in the social services field. But, my adult life has been centered around reaching out and seeing to the needs of others. Just two examples of my Imposter Syndrome situation.🤷🏾‍♀️

But the main ones in this season is I don’t feel like a writer, I don’t feel like a good mom of my 5 and a half and 4 year old son and daughter respectively, and I don’t feel like I have anything of value to share with the people God has asked me to encourage.
    I am a great mom! I am a writer! I am an encourager!

    I struggle with imposter syndrome in regards to my God-given calling. God has called me to be a business owner in all the aspects of the calling He has given me. I’m in the beginning stages and I’m scared. I’m scared that I won’t be able to do it but I know that He wouldn’t have chosen me if He knew I couldn’t do what He has called me to do. So I clearly needed this. I just watched the premiere of part 2 of this on how to fight imposter syndrome. I am a business owner! I am an author! I am a personal trainer! I am a health coach! I am a motivational speaker! I am a restaurant owner! I am a blogger/vlogger! I am a t-shirt designer!

    Maybe I am the 'odd man out' here, but I stumbled onto your pod cast and have been totally awed ... well, I think my journey has been 'on track' this year with a few road blocks, disappointments and 'self diagnosed failures' (which is where this pod cast steps in).
    I am an almost 60 white guy in Australia, who embraces our traditional landowners. I can appreciate some of the other comments that I have briefly read here for various reasons.
    I have been reflecting this year more so about who, what and why about me. I won't go any further except childhood stuff seems to be the button for me. Perhaps that is why I go into bat for others who are ''victims', oppose those who are the 'bullies' and why I am a volunteer firefighter here.
    Anyway ... you sounded authentic and I heard you. I am now looking at the second pod cast, and hope it is engaging, informative and authentic as this one.
    'On ya mate' ... 'bonza' ... ('classic' old-Aussie 'acknowledgement' for something good and well done ... thrown in for a chuckle)

    My imposter syndrome is. Feeling unworthy to pray in public although I believe and love prayer. Jesus gave me a ministry after my husband passed since two other women have joined me we go out and encourage saint and people who are lonely. I was recently noted as the leader I felt like me! No thanks your words were encouraging and helpful

    I am always fighting imposter syndrome. Because I wear many hats. I love trying new things. Truthfully, some of the things that I don't do anymore is BECAUSE of the imposter syndrome. Because I felt like I didn't know what I was doing, or wasn't doing it well, ..and even because of the side eye looks that says 'what do you think you're doing?'. So...I AM...a writer, an author , a director, a dancer/choreographer; a minister, an acting coach, a speaker, a CEO/business owner; events coordinator; graphic designer; a cosmetologist....WHEW CHILLLE !!! "Harpo who dis woman?!"
