She asked how I handle it, so I wrote up some action steps I take to deal with it, and she said, "This was SO HELPFUL. Have you done an episode on it yet?" I said, "well, no, I haven't! Good idea!" So here we are, in a series on imposter syndrome! This is something I really began to experience when I stepped into podcasting and business (aka: out of my comfort zone), but have come to realize EVERYONE deals with it. So, we are going to identify in today's episode, five symptoms of imposter syndrome to help you identify if YOU'RE dealing with it, as well as some scriptural examples of Bible characters who did and how THEY dealt with it. Stay tuned for the other episodes that follow, they'll be equally good with tools for overcoming it and how to deal with it spiritually when there's a spiritual root. Let's goooooo.... (Also, you may want to share it with a mom friend!) FOR YOUR JOURNALING, these are the five types of imposter syndrome: 1. **Persistent Self-Doubt**: Individuals with imposter syndrome doubt their skills, talents, and qualifications, even when objectively successful. 2. **Fear of Failure**: There is a heightened fear of making mistakes or failing, leading to perfectionistic tendencies and avoidance of new challenges. 3. **Attributing Success to External Factors**: People with imposter syndrome often attribute their achievements to luck, help from others, or being in the right place at the right time, discounting their own contributions. 4. **Difficulty Accepting Praise**: Individuals may feel uncomfortable or undeserving of praise and recognition, dismissing positive feedback as insincere or misguided. 5. **Constant Striving for Perfection**: There is a relentless pursuit of perfection and high standards, accompanied by a fear of being exposed as inadequate if these standards are not met. —————————————————— CONNECT WITH JEN: Thank you for rating, reviewing and sharing the show on social media, this makes such an enormous difference on the reach of this podcast!   Follow and tag me on Instagram @javawithjen or Facebook @javawithjenpodcast , and Share when you’re listening to a show!   I love seeing your posts👏🏼😍!   Also if you’d like to support the show, you can do so: through Spotify or on  Treat Jen to Coffee www.PATREON.COM/JAVAWITHJEN  www.Patreon.com/javawithjen  Venmo: @JavawithJen Cashapp: $JavawithJen --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/javawithjen/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/javawithjen/support
