A Quiet Rebellion Against Impostor Syndrome

You brought yourself into the room. Into the rooms where work happens. Where decisions are made. Where you’re often the only one—or one of the few.

Maybe those rooms are Teams rooms, boardrooms, or unfamiliar rooms. Doesn’t matter.

What matters is: you’re here. And being in the room has meant silencing doubt, ignoring the subtle but unmistakable slights against your gender, shape, or race, and daring to keep going anyway.

You’re not in the room by accident. Or by blind luck. You got here through grit. Through quiet determination to keep going, day after day—even when the way forward felt like climbing a vertical cliff without a safety net.

And if, as you go to engage the room, anxiety and doubt rise in your chest... It’s easy to mistake your uniqueness as something to be fixed or tucked away—like a stained shirt sleeve you’re embarrassed to be wearing.

When your mind floods with doubt, and you wonder if you’re too much—or not enough—here’s the truth you’ve temporarily lost sight of:

Your simple in-breath and out-breath signal an already extraordinary being.

It took a bottomless well of courage for you to be in the room. Evidence of your extraordinary doing.

And just look at the distance you’ve traversed. Maybe that distance spans continents, oceans, time zones, and cultures.

Or maybe it’s the inner kind—the miles you’ve walked from burnout to boundaries, from perfectionism to self-trust, from silence to speaking up.

You’ve come incredibly far, and you'll keep moving forward. Even if the next step feels like just one more step into the unknown, that step is sacred.

And it paves the way for countless others who will follow.

You are the embodiment of the wildest dreams of innumerable—including your ancestors, who now reach across space and time to offer their quiet support, their fierce pride, and their love.

In your corner,
Jamie
