imposter syndrome doesn’t mean you’re unqualified — it usually means you’re doing something that actually matters to you. in this episode, i’m breaking down how to stop giving that voice so much power. not in a “just believe in yourself” way, but in a real “let’s figure out where this shit is coming from” way.

we talk about naming it, defining it on your own terms, and being honest about what systems or people may have planted those doubts in the first place. sometimes it’s your own inner critic, and sometimes it’s old conditioning that taught you to downplay yourself to survive. either way, it’s time to stop letting it run the show.

welcome to the gem lab. in this first episode, i’m sharing my story and the heart behind this space — made for artists, misfits, and sensitive souls who crave more from life in their creativity. this isn’t about perfection, it’s about growth, self-trust, and learning to see yourself as the gem you’ve always been. if you’ve ever felt out of place, this space was made for you.
