Ep 157 - How to challenge your imposter voice with Dr. Jessamy Hibberd
I have a beautiful conversation for you today with Dr. Jessamy Hibberd. She is a clinical psychologist, a speaker, and best selling author.
We chat about her approach to happiness and managing the mind, and we take a deep dive into her new book The Imposter Cure and how to challenge our imposter voice.
I wonder if you experienced imposter syndrome? I know I have. I actually think many of us experience it whether at work or home or both.
The ideas we discuss feel transformational, moving us past this idea that we are a fraud and into this idea that we are just a human doing your best with good days and bad days as everyone else.
If you are listening and thinking about a friend who is perhaps experiencing imposter syndrome and you wish they could see how untrue that is, please do share this episode. I really hope you enjoy it.
We chat about:
-
Her approach to happiness
-
Managing the mind
-
How to challenge your imposter voice
-
The fundamental idea: You are not your thoughts
-
Her new book The imposter Cure
Is this is a thought or a feeling rather than a fact?
- Dr. Jessamy Hibberd
As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.

Jessamy has written eight books, including The Imposter Cure described by the Sunday Times as “the definitive guide to tackling and understanding the psychological mind trap” of imposter syndrome. Her work has been translated into 17 languages and her books are sold all over the world.

Her motto is: “What we do every day makes the biggest difference. It’s small steps that lead to the greatest changes.” Something she puts into practice (you guessed it) every day. She shared this message, as well as her personal and professional experience of how to find happiness, in her TEDx talk ‘Adventure of a Lifetime.’
