Imposter syndrome - 'I just got lucky with that' or 'It was just a fluke' or 'Someone's gonna find out I'm a fraud!'

Fear of being visible and having your true voice heard (e.g., on social media, in meetings or with clients)

Low self-confidence in creative ability - 'I'm just not that good'

Fear of being judged or criticised - 'What will they think of me?'

Difficulty charging what you're worth - 'Who am I to charge that much!?'

Comparing yourself to others constantly - 'Everyone else's work looks so much better than mine' or 'Why am I the only one who hasn't got it all figured out yet? What's wrong with me?'

Struggling to speak up with clients or set boundaries - Nodding along when you don't actually agree or 'Of course I can do that!' Then immediately regretting it.

Overthinking and second-guessing everything - 'One more tweak, then it will be perfect'
