Imposter Syndrome: Turning Fear into FuelIn this episode, I’m diving into a topic that affects almost every entrepreneur at some stage of their journey: imposter syndrome.We often think that once we’ve achieved success, the doubts will disappear.

In this episode of Dawn of a New Era, I’m talking about the hidden identity ceiling that quietly holds so many CEOs back from hitting 100k months and beyond.Because here’s the truth, you can have the best funnels, the dream team, and proven strategies, but if your identity hasn’t shifted into the version of you who earns at that level, your subconscious will sabotage your success.I share how confidence, clarity and conviction shape scaling, why your brain works hard to protect your current identity, and how to rewire it using neuroscience, psychodynamics, and quantum psychology. Plus, I’ll walk you through the daily embodiment practices I use myself and with clients to collapse time and step into your next-level CEO self.This episode is for the entrepreneurs who are ready to stop hitting the same ceiling and start thinking, feeling and scaling like the top 1%.Highlights:(04:12) Identity as the ceiling to success(09:27) The invisible line that keeps CEOs stuck at the same level(15:33) Why strategy fails without mindset alignment(21:56) Quantum psychology and collapsing the gap between who you are and who you want to be(29:41) Daily embodiment practices to rewire your brain(36:58) How to step into your 100k month identity todayConnect with Dawn:Instagram: @dawnmcgruerConnect with Dawn:Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcastFacebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruerLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/Web www.dawnmcgruer.comThis podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentionalhttps://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy
