Summary
Today we’re spilling the tea on Imposter Syndrome, or Imposter feelings, with someone whose work we think so many of you are going to connect with instantly. Dr Lee David is a GP, CBT therapist and author with over 20 years of experience supporting people with their mental health. She is the founder of 10 Minute CBT, bringing brief, practical mental health tools into real-life settings. Lee is known for making psychological ideas genuinely accessible, warm, and sometimes even a little bit funny when that’s what’s needed. Lee works with health professionals through NHS Practitioner Health, speaks at national events, offers one-to-one therapy for adults, and hosts her own podcast The Choice Space. In this episode we explore why so many women experience imposter syndrome and how it often overlaps with people pleasing and perfectionism. We also talk about: • Whether imposter syndrome is more common in women • Why people pleasing can be damaging but can also have a positive spin if dealt with correctly • How these traits show up for late diagnosed autistic and neurodivergent women • Practical CBT tools for those moments when the “I’m a fraud” thought appears • What Dr Lee wishes every woman truly understood about self-worth We also chat about going to the hygienist, how are your gums? And as always, stay until the end for some beautiful inspiration to carry you through the week. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, felt like you had to prove your worth, or wondered why success can still feel uncomfortable, this conversation will resonate deeply.
