I had imposter syndrome in my previous teaching job and realized that I didn't have a break in 3 years, was working even when I was sick, had my pay withheld when I asked for a raise. My ex was actually vacationing alone too.. Then when I quit couple of years later till now I realized I was actually burnt out and needed a break..

This hit home. I’ve definitely been through this without even having a name for it at the time. You’re spot on, fear of failure and anxiety are a crazy duo that can keep you paralyzed if you aren't careful. Thanks for shedding light on this, it’s exactly what people need to hear.

Thank you, ma’am. This video matters a lot to me right now.<br><br>I feel shattered, and I’ve realized that my entire life has been spiraling in survival mode. I have worked as a school principal in seven institutions over the last five years, constantly facing criticism, especially in my new job roles.<br><br>Yet, I am still unable to take any specific action on important initiatives like a principal coaching program, senior school board exam readiness programs, or global career counselling for individuals and institutions. Nothing is able to take shape.<br><br>I feel diluted, mentally exhausted, and trapped in the fallacy of a “yet-to-do” version of myself—where I keep thinking I will do it later, not now, I can’t do anything right now.<br><br>This video presentation gave me space to breathe. It gave me hope and confidence.<br><br>Deep gratitude, ma’am.
