What if I told you that what you’ve been calling imposter syndrome… isn’t real?In this powerful solo episode, Liz Svatek, Transformation Coach and host of The Liz Svatek Show, breaks down one of the most common lies women tell themselves — that they’re not ready, not enough, or somehow faking it. The truth? What you’re feeling isn’t a syndrome at all — it’s trauma.For women over 40 especially, imposter syndrome is often a survival mechanism rooted in years of conditioning — the pressure to be perfect, to overachieve, and to never make mistakes. That inner voice that whispers, “Who do you think you are?” isn’t proof that you’re an imposter… it’s proof that you’re on the edge of evolution.In this episode, Liz shares:✨ Why “imposter syndrome” is actually a trauma response🔥 The danger of staying in the “comfort zone” (aka the dead zone)💎 Her personal story of fear, failure, and reinvention at 49🌹 How to reframe self-doubt into expansion and step into your next level of powerYou don’t need to fix yourself — you need to free yourself.So the next time that voice whispers, “Who do you think you are?”Say it with Liz: “I’m a Warrior Woman, and the world is waiting for me.”Get Liz's Empowered Womans Playbook! https://www.lizsvatek.com/offers/wZppn2Qy/checkout💫 Listen now and start shifting from fear to freedom. #impostersyndrome #personalgrowth #transformation #healing #imposter

🌸 Nicole Collins: The Mom Who Saved Her Baby with Meditation | Mother’s Intuition & HealingWhat would you do if doctors told you to terminate your baby—or he would never survive?At 41, pregnant with twins, Nicole Collins was told repeatedly that “Baby B” wouldn’t make it. Diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome—a rare, life-threatening condition—doctors warned he would be born at just 2 pounds, too weak to survive.

What unfolded was nothing short of miraculous—a journey of surrender, intuition, and fierce maternal love that defied every prediction. Nicole had always feared motherhood, but she discovered it was exactly what she was here to do.
