Stepping Into My Power: Releasing Imposter Syndrome and Walking in Faith

For too long, I played small. I doubted my own brilliance, second-guessed my talents, and convinced myself that I wasn’t “ready” yet. Imposter syndrome whispered in my ear, telling me I needed more experience, more credentials, more validation before I could truly step into my purpose. I was waiting for some invisible green light to tell me it was time to move, all while watching others boldly take up space in ways I knew I was capable of.

But the truth? The only thing standing between me and the life I desired was my own fear.

It wasn’t until I got still—truly still—that I started to hear the Divine over the noise of my own self-doubt. In that silence, I felt the truth settle in my spirit: Everything I am and everything I want is already mine. The only thing required of me is Faith—the willingness to move forward even when I can’t see the full path.

Stepping into my power hasn’t been about becoming someone new; it’s been about remembering who I’ve always been. The world teaches us to shrink, to question ourselves, to seek external validation before we can trust our own instincts. But God doesn’t place dreams in our hearts just to tease us. If I can envision it, that means I am already equipped to bring it to life. I just have to stop waiting for permission and claim it.

I’ve realized that imposter syndrome is nothing but a trick of the mind. It’s a distraction, a roadblock designed to keep me stuck in a loop of hesitation. But I refuse to let fear be the thing that keeps me from fully embracing my purpose. If I have been called to do this work, then I am meant to do it boldly. Playing small does not serve me, and it certainly doesn’t serve the people I’m here to impact.

So, I’m done shrinking to make others comfortable. I am done waiting for the “perfect” moment. Perfection is an illusion anyway. I am walking boldly in my calling, trusting that every step I take in faith will be met with divine guidance and provision.

And if you’ve been doubting yourself, let this be your reminder: You are already enough. Your gifts, your purpose, your dreams—they are not accidents. They were placed within you for a reason. The fear, the hesitation, the questioning—that’s all conditioning. But your truth? Your truth is that you are powerful beyond measure.

The only question is, are you willing to believe in yourself the way God already does?

It’s time to step up. It’s time to claim it. It’s time to walk in power.
