Bracing in Rooms You've Already Earned

About this episode

Rebecca discusses the concept of bracing and imposter syndrome in relation to success and internal safety.

You've earned the room. And your body still mobilizes. That tightening in your shoulders. The subtle alertness. The internal monitoring. Most women call it imposter syndrome. It's bracing. This week on Elevate Your Mind, Rebecca unpacks why success doesn't automatically create internal safety.
