I Got 1 Million Listeners on BBC Radio 4 (And My Imposter Syndrome Took Over)

This week I'm catching you up on one of the biggest moments of my year so far! Recording BBC Radio 4's The Bottom Line with Evan Davis, Andy Ransom (former CEO of Rentokil) and imposter syndrome expert Dr Valerie Young.

The topic? Imposter syndrome, my specialist subject. Except the moment I found out a million people would be tuning in, my own imposter syndrome decided to show up in spectacular fashion. The irony wasn't lost on me.

In this solo episode, I'm sharing:
 🎙️ How the opportunity came about (spoiler: it started with a WhatsApp message)
 🧠 Why imposter syndrome is actually about a false idea of "competency" and how redefining it changes everything
 👶 How our childhood experiences quietly set our imposter syndrome levels
 ✨ The brain hack that turns nerves into excitement (your body genuinely can't tell the difference!)
 💬 The two types of anxiety, and why one of them is actually good for you

Plus, my mum's brilliant reaction when she heard the episode.

If you've ever felt like a fraud right before your biggest moment, this one's for you.
