24: The System for Tricking Yourself Into Believing You’re Qualified

The System for Everything

Ever feel like you don’t belong at the table you built? You’re not alone. I’m talking to Katie Mast, a seasoned creative‑entrepreneur turned community‑builder with big, blunt truths about imposter syndrome.

Katie worked in the wedding, events and creative industries, and worked with industry platforms, so she knows what it’s like to be both visible and unsure. We peel back the stories behind the smiles, unpack the lies imposter syndrome tells you, and build a system for showing up anyway.

In this episode:

• Why success often magnifies imposter feelings instead of curing them.
• Simple rituals that help you dial down doubt in the day‑to‑day.
• How to stop waiting until you “feel ready” and begin acting as if you already are.
