*Imposter Syndrome, Overload & 5 Tools to Move Forward | Balancing the Cards Ep 9 | B3Inspire
Ever nailed a presentation then immediately started worrying about dinner ingredients and school forms instead of celebrating your win? That disconnect between achievement and confidence is exactly what we're unpacking today.
In Episode 9 of Balancing the Cards, Betty Johnson and women's leadership expert Rachel Burlton explore the research behind imposter syndrome — why up to 70% of people experience it, how mental overload silences your sense of competence, and why your self-doubt might actually be a rational response to a biased environment rather than a personal failing.

We also share five practical, evidence-based tools you can start using this week to build genuine confidence whilst managing the realities of work, family and everything in between.

*What we cover:*

The real research on imposter phenomenon — what Clance and Imes actually found and why it was never meant to be called a "syndrome." How cognitive overload from the triple shift stops you from integrating your achievements. Why high achievers often experience the most intense self-doubt. The intersectional reality — how "prove-it-again" bias, code-switching and emotional tax layer additional pressure on women of colour, disabled women and first-generation professionals. Plus five actionable tools: the wins journal, strategic feedback requests, mentorship that honours your constraints, protected Unicorn Space, and whole-workload evidence gathering.
