This was a really enjoyable read! It’s a quick, engaging book that strikes the perfect balance between personal stories and practical, actionable tips. Unlike other self-help books I’ve read, the advice here feels realistic and achievable. I also loved how the author included outside resources for readers who want to explore further. This book is a great read for everyone—whether you’ve experienced imposter syndrome or not, it offers fresh insights and a thoughtful perspective.

This is a great resource. Get your copy! Kate’s book is going to be a tool that I’ll frequently come back to for reference when my self-sabotage starts to show up. I like her easy and implementable action steps.
