The Doubt Gremlins Imposter Syndrome

In this week’s episode, Lisa opens up about feeling unmotivated and a bit disorganized, reflecting honestly on how even joyful projects can lose momentum. She considers a small rebrand—from Miss Brightside: The Power of Positivity to simply Miss Brightside Podcast—to give herself more freedom to talk about real life as it happens.

She shares her recent struggle with imposter syndrome, describing moments at work where she doubted her abilities and reminding listeners that talking about these feelings is one of the best ways to overcome them. As she says in the episode, “the more we talk about things, the easier it gets.” She also touches on the emotional shift of supporting ageing parents, the invisible load many people carry, and the importance of knowing what help is available—like unpaid carers’ leave in the UK.

To steady herself through a wobbly week, Lisa leans into small acts of self‑care: short walks, prepping healthy food, better sleep habits, and giving herself permission to rest. She closes with encouragement for anyone battling their own “doubt gremlins,” reminding listeners that discomfort often means growth and that they’re capable of far more than they think.
