I helped a STEM student overcome 3 years of imposter syndrome in just one semester.
When she first reached me, she was considering leaving her major altogether. Despite her competence and numerous publications, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was "faking it."
The surprising breakthrough?
It wasn't about adding more credentials or achievements. It was about unlearning the beliefs that kept her doubting her expertise.
Today, she graduated and she's not only thriving in her position but mentoring other women in STEM, creating a ripple effect of confidence throughout her department.
If you are feeling out of place despite your achievements, I've developed a framework that's helped hundreds overcome imposter syndrome and reclaim their confidence.
Stay Tuned.

The most brilliant sugar processing invention in history was rejected by every major American factory.
It was 1846 in New Orleans. Steam burns and deadly accidents were just "part of the job" in sugar processing. Everyone accepted this as normal. But one man couldn't stop seeing the bodies being carried out of those factories. The solution was crystal clear in his mind - if only they'd let him through the front door.
Here's the twist: while American factories refused to let Norbert Rillieux even install his own invention because of his race, every sugar crystal you've eaten today was likely processed using his method.
It made me think about how often we let prejudice blind us to brilliance. How many innovations are we missing because we're too busy judging the inventor instead of the invention? When I first learned about Rillieux - born to a French plantation owner and an enslaved mother - I was struck by how he responded to rejection. Instead of giving up, he took his genius to France, where he became a celebrated professor and engineer.
I used to think success meant proving everyone wrong. But Rillieux's story taught me something different: sometimes success means finding the right table instead of begging for a seat at the wrong one.
You know what's wild? The same factories that wouldn't let him in later had to pay to use his methods.
And guess what?
His multiple-effect evaporator didn't just make sugar processing safer and more efficient - it proved that genius has no color.
Innovation sees no color - it only sees solutions.
What brilliant ideas are we missing because we're too busy looking at who's presenting them rather than what they're presenting?

—especially when it pushes us out of our comfort zones.
But here's the thing: growth and change are inseparable.
When we take that leap of faith, we allow ourselves to evolve into someone stronger, more resilient, and more authentic.
Change often requires us to:
- Shed old habits
- Let go of outdated beliefs
- Distance ourselves from relationships that no longer serve our growth
This process can be painful and isolating
These moments of discomfort help us discover our true inner strength. The courage to change is the courage to grow.
In my journey, I've learned that it's not about avoiding change—it's about embracing it.
When we do, we unlock our potential, exceed our expectations, and step into the person we're meant to become.
Growth = change, and change, while challenging, is always worth it.
Don't Be Scared to let go of what no longer serves you. Instead, focus on who you are becoming.
Your future self will thank you for it.
