I'm a writer who believes imposter syndrome deserves to be laughed at — not feared.

My work blends humor, storytelling, and playful mental reframes to help you see yourself (and your wild, brilliant brain) in a better light.

Here to remind you: You're not faking it. You're figuring it out. (Also here for snacks.)

If you've ever felt like a raccoon pretending to be a CEO — welcome. You're my people.

Find my no-BS guide "They Are Going to Find Out!" on Amazon, where I transform imposter syndrome from your biggest fear into your funniest story.

How to Break Free from Imposter Syndrome by Tempest Jemison
“You’re the person who apologizes for apologizing. Your emails start with “Just wondering if maybe...” and end with “Sorry for bothering you!” Your drafts have drafts, and your backup plans have backup plans. Perfection and hesitation are your second and third names.”

How to Break Free from Imposter Syndrome by Tempest Jemison
“Understanding that this voice is a misguided attempt to shield you from failure by bombarding you with self-criticism is the first step to putting it in its place.”

How to Break Free from Imposter Syndrome by Tempest Jemison
“(...) here’s the thing about pretending to have all the answers: it’s exhausting, it’s lonely, and—surprise, surprise—it’s holding you back from your greatest potential. Your worth isn't determined by a flawless facade but by your resilience, adaptability, and willingness to be genuinely human.”

Tempest Jemison, How to Break Free from Imposter Syndrome: A Hilarious Journey from Self-Doubt to Self-Love: A Quick, No-BS Guide to Stop Overthinking, Overcome ... Your Life With Fun Exercises and Extra Giggle

“Do you know the difference between healthy self-doubt and imposter syndrome? Compare this: a GPS recalculating your route—calm, collected, and ready to guide you back on track. Now, contrast that with your Inner Chaotic Passenger who’s simultaneously giving you wrong directions, insisting that you got your license from a garage sale, and yelling that you’re trying to scam them. Whatever happens—they’re definitely giving you one star and writing a detailed complaint about it.”

“Remember that time you “accidentally” climbed Mount Everest or won an Olympic gold medal? Or maybe “mistakenly” performed brain surgery? No? That’s because success doesn’t happen by accident, no matter what your Inner Critic tries to tell you. And deep down, you know this.”
