Coping with imposter syndrome as a woman

I came to understand the term imposter syndrome in my journey of self discovery. I had experienced the feeling but couldn't label it. At the time, I didn't understand what it was and assumed I was alone. As I began to explore I came across my tribe, even in high flying women that I admired. It was a pleasant feeling - knowing I wasn't alone in this struggle. Moreso, having women that had achieved what I still far from achieving admit this weakness; was humbling.

Imposter syndrome is feeling like a fraud or unworthy of opportunities & platforms, second guessing your abilities and the decision of the people entrusting you with responsibilities.  For me, my academic qualification was a measuring yardstick. I had inner struggles with voices in my head sounding this way: \"You do not have the adequate certifications for this role. Oh, you are just a degree holder. You won't be recognized until you have a Masters & PHD. You are a joker. You will fail at this. Your incompetence would shine bright\".

I truly to desire to acquire additional certifications because I love to study. However, I understand that this is a journey and taking the right steps towards advancing my career. But, who says I can't enjoy the journey? LOL

So, care to share, how do you cope with imposter syndrome?
