11/30 raw + vulnerable: what do I do for a living?
Doctor. Practice owner. Those were easy. Clean. Socially acceptable answers that came with instant credibility.
Now? I genuinely stumble. And I’ve been doing this for years.
The weird part is it’s not imposter syndrome about the work itself. I know what I do. I know the impact it has. I know the business I’ve built.
It’s imposter syndrome about the label. Because the world still needs you to fit in a box before it decides whether to take you seriously.
But I’ve started to wonder if the people who can answer that question immediately are the ones who chose the safe path. The already-named path.
The awkward pause might just mean you’re doing something worth explaining.
↓ Anyone else or is it just me??
