I Felt Like the Biggest Imposter!
I felt like the biggest imposter!
Here I was wanting to help women whose lives and purpose are being derailed and held back by insecurity, and I was being deluged with the demons of insecurity - perfectionism and procrastination. I wanted to reach the most women possible in the shortest time possible but it felt impossible given my current workload.
But wait! Isn’t that what community and support is about?
I told insecurity “GOODBYE!!!” and reached out to my Sista, Crystal Daye, the author of ‘Dear Insecurity: A Woman’s Guide To Release Self-Doubt And Boldly Activate Your God-Given Gifts’.
I had recently bought Crystal’s book on Kindle and it was just what the doctor ordered for women afflicted with insecurity (or would order if she knew about it LOL).
I met Crystal years ago when she spoke at an event for women - “Queen, Straighten Your Crown’, and subsequently at another event for women leaders - ‘Signature Women’ where she was promoting her very first book.
A couple years later I invited her to be interviewed along with other guest experts, at my online retreat - ‘Recharge and Reset: Maximize Your Potential, Fulfill Your God-Given Purpose’. She spoke then on insecurity which was the topic of the book she was about to launch shortly thereafter. We have also both been part of a faith-based community for entrepreneurs - The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur.
Fast forward to now. I thought, why not tackle this mammoth task through collaboration with Crystal, and the platform of my newly formed Recharge & Reset Community for women of faith. I did not have time for a full blown retreat with several guest experts, yet the call was so strong to do this now!
Crystal accepted my invitation and we had over 50 registants, and 47 participants at our FREE Recharge and Reset workshop: ‘Goodbye Insecurity’ on Wednesday, September 21.
Can you relate to any of these?
Low Self Esteem Self-limitation
Feelings of inadequacy
Comparison
Procrastination
Self-criticism
Small thinking
Fear of success
Fear of failure
Always seeking validation
Constant people-pleasing
Feelings of unworthiness
Feeling guilty for your successes
Well, if so, you may be struggling with INSECURITY. It’s time to tell insecurity Goodbye!!!!
If you want to do like Crystal and me and say Goodbye to insecurity, but you could not be there on Wednesday, as a subscriber to my Weekend Reset blog you can access a copy of the video recording. Just let me know you would like to have it by indicating in the comments or emailing me, and I will send a private link to you.
