Rise with Roxie

Do you ever feel like you don’t deserve to be where you are? Like any moment, someone’s going to find out you’re a fraud?
In this clip, Dr Shade joins Roxie to explain why “imposter syndrome” was never meant to be a syndrome at all. It was first described as a phenomenon: something lots of people experience, not a sign that anything is wrong with you. She also talks about who feels it most and why, the two ways it shows up (holding back vs. overcompensating), and two simple reframes you can use the next time the thought “I don’t deserve this” creeps in.
Dr Shade also shares one of Roxie’s favourite psychology experiments, the Dartmouth “scar study”, which shows how our expectations shape what we notice and, in the end, our reality. As Dr Shade puts it: “We don’t get what we want or what we deserve. We get what we believe.”

Ever feel like you’ve somehow “faked” your way into the room… and it’s only a matter of time before everyone finds out? You’re not alone and more importantly, you’re not actually an imposter.
We’re diving deep into the truth behind imposter syndrome : what it really is, why it shows up right when you’re stepping into something bigger, and how to move through it without pretending to be someone you’re not.
We look at the psychology behind that “I don’t belong here” feeling, from identity lag to the spotlight effect, and reveal why your brain is wired to doubt your success, even when the evidence says otherwise. You’ll learn why high achievers feel this the most, how your environment can outgrow your self-image, and why discomfort is often a sign of expansion, not inadequacy.
Most importantly, this episode gives you practical, grounded tools to quiet the noise: how to separate feelings from facts, stop minimising your wins, regulate your body in moments of doubt, and finally own the space you’ve earned.
This episode will completely reframe how you see yourself.
Because imposter syndrome isn’t a sign you’re failing… it’s a sign you’re rising.
