“Who Are You to Talk About Success?” Feeling Similar? Let’s Talk About Imposter Syndrome

This morning, I woke up to a snowy day. The world outside was beautifully covered in white, and after my short walk outside in the morning, I felt energized and motivated.
Walking got me thinking about something that’s been on my mind lately: the feeling that I’m not qualified enough to talk about certain topics.
Have you ever thought, “Who am I to write about this?” Or, “I haven’t mastered this myself — what gives me the right to share?”
This feeling, often called imposter syndrome, is something I’ve wrestled with over the past few weeks. As I’ve been publishing content daily, that inner critic has been loud:
- “You’re writing about habits — do you even follow them perfectly?
- “Who are you to talk about success when you’re still figuring things out?”
Here’s what I’ve realized:
👉 You don’t need to be an expert to share your experiences. If you’re writing or creating, that’s enough.
👉 Even seasoned professionals feel this way — it’s not just you.
👉 Acknowledging this feeling can take its power away.
