Creativity reconnects you to internal authority

Imposterism thrives in environments that demand external proof (hello, external evaluations, blind reviews, anonymous 360 feedback, student evaluations, and on and on).

It whispers:
“Do I belong?”
“Am I qualified enough?”
“Will they believe me?”
“Maybe this is just imposterism.”

But creativity doesn’t ask for credentials.
It asks: “What wants to come through me right now? What next step is calling me?”

This is the deep shift I guide people through—not toward a shinier resume, but toward their own inner knowing.

Because creativity reconnects you to internal authority. It helps you lead from the inside out, not the outside in.

5 Things I’ve Learned About Imposterism + Self-Worth (and why creativity is the antidote)

Imposterism isn’t personal. It’s patterned.
You’re not broken. You’re responding—wisely—to systems that benefit from your self-doubt. That pattern can be interrupted. That’s what this work does.

Self-worth can’t be outsourced to your resume.
You can’t credential your way into feeling whole. You already are. We remember this through practices that reconnect us to voice, body, and breath.

Overfunctioning isn’t love.
Over-giving, over-caring, over-working—you did these things to survive. But it’s not your truth. And it’s not your future.

You can’t think your way out. You have to feel your way through.
This isn’t mindset work alone. This is body work. Emotional work. Nervous system repair. Creativity is a nervous system intervention.

You don’t need it all figured out to begin.
You just need to know you’re ready for a different way. That’s the starting place.

So what’s the answer?

Not more proving.
Not another training.
Not performing more of the version of you that’s “acceptable” in extractive systems.

The answer is creative practice, nervous system repair, community support, and enough room to hear your own truth again.

Creativity is your way home to yourself.

You don’t have to keep fixing yourself.

You just need space to remember yourself.
