Feeling The Fear of Imposter Syndrome And Moving Forward
It took me three HOURS to record my first thirty minute episode.
Last year around this time, we were working hard to put out our brand new podcast, “The Mary Marantz Show”, as a lead up to my first book, Dirt, coming out this fall (September 15th to be precise!). There was a new brand to design, and a website to put together. There were guests to line up and a tagline (complete with matching sweatshirt) to decide upon. There were details- shiny, shiny, starting something new, distract you from the real work to be done- details!
And, I loved that part.
The starting is the fun part. The pretty details are the fun part. The throwing confetti highlight reel when you’re done is the fun part.
But the hard part is finding your voice.

It’s believing that there is room for your voice, and a need for your voice, when the conversation is already so crowded. It’s believing that you have something original to add… and that there will be someone out there who needs to hear it.
When I sat down at that microphone to record for the very first time, every ounce of imposter syndrome, self-doubt, comparison, perfectionism, and feeling like a fraud came rushing into the room with me.
Shame pulled up a seat next to me and started hissing in my ear. It leaned in close and told me with every mess-up and re-take that I was clearly not called to this. I didn’t have what it takes. I should just go ahead and give up now. It told me I was too introverted. Too much of a soft, quiet voice in a world that just loves people who shout. It told me I was too serious, too deep, too much and yet somehow, simultaneously… not enough. It told me I should quit before I’d even begun.
For three hours, Shame and I did battle. And when the fog cleared and the weapons were laid down, I was the last one standing. Bruised and word-weary for the fighting, but more determined than ever that this muddy, messy story of mine needs to be shared.
And here’s the thing… so does yours.
Chances are if you’re STUCK right now with putting your voice out into the world- whether that’s with starting a new podcast or writing a book or showing up more in your social media- you’re probably there for the same reasons most of us ever get stuck.
You feel unprepared and unqualified. You have a FEAR that your peers will judge you. You think “who would ever want to learn from me when there are already people who have been doing it longer and doing it better.” You feel like you’ll never reach HER level anyway. You give in to Perfectionism and Permission becoming your most advanced form of Procrastination. You’re waiting for that perfect timing or for when “things calm down” (hint: that never happens). Or maybe deep down there is a part of you that just feels like it’s already too late to do something about this dream.
Been there. Done that. Have the podcast episode (Ep. 01: Why I Almost Never Wrote the Book) to tell you about it.
So if that is why we’re stuck, what do we do about it? How do we Feel that Fear… and move Forward anyway?
(Stuck setting goals for 2020? Grab our FREE goal setting worksheet and checklist by clicking the image below!)
1. The Breakthrough You’re Waiting For is in the Work You’re Avoiding.
I saw this quote from James Wedmore and it shook me to my core. Every person I see having breakthrough after breakthrough, out there doing the very things *I* want to be doing… they are getting there by doing the work I’ve been avoiding. They are sitting in the chair and sitting through the edginess, putting their backsides in the seat long enough for the fear to dissipate and the words to come. They aren’t doing it just when they feel the inspiration hit or when it’s easy or when it’s fun. They are showing up every day, and putting in the work. And the work changes you. The discipline changes you. Staring down Shame for three hours straight and still standing, it changes you.
2. Take A Step Back
Speaking of Shame, I love what Brene Brown (the woman we ALL want to be best friends with) has to say about this. She contrasts Shame with this idea of Whole-Heartedness. And I think a good way to understand that is two steps. Step One is that thing that happens to all of us at one point or another. We don’t get picked (or booked!). It doesn’t come easy. The work feels messy and hard. When that happens, whole-hearted people stay at Step One. That mistake or misstep or disappointment is just that: an external set of facts about something that happened. The End. Shame, however, wants us to take that next step. It wants us to say that because we weren’t picked, it must mean we’re not worthy of being chosen. Because it didn’t work the way we’d hoped, we have already failed before we’ve even really started. If we make one mistake, we must not have what it takes. Shame wants to take that external set of facts about something that happened and turn it into an internal commentary about who you are as a person down to your very character and core. When that happens- take a step back. Take a beat. Take a breath. And remind yourself, that we are ALL beginners at things when we first try. It’s never perfect right out of the gate. And before you let that convince you to quit before you’ve even started… take that step back.
3. Be For Other People
Finally, the next time you find yourself STUCK because of what “they” might have to say about it… I want you to instead imagine the faces of the people it might SERVE. Be for other people. Because the truth is, we could go a lifetime closed off, captioning our stories with a pre-approved script of what the world says is acceptable. And yet, we forget the people that we might help when we step into the real story we’ve been given. We’re so busy worrying about the critics and the crowd that we forget the crushed in spirit. The one or the many who might be waiting for the very story you’ve been trusted to tell.
You’re here and you have scars. You’re here and you have dirt in your story. You’re here and you’re afraid both of those disqualify you before you even start.
But the world needs your voice. Your story already matters.
And one day, when we get to where it is we’re going, it won’t be despite these scars we bear. It will always be because of them.
And when the starting feels just a little too slow, just remember…
Slow growth equals Strong roots.

THE LIGHT HASN’T GONE OUT IN YOU MY FRIEND
A love letter to the exhausted, the beaten down, the spread too thins, the ones who feel like giving up. This one is for you.
That light in you hasn’t gone out my friend. You only think it has.
You only sit there in the darkness, surrounded by the smoke of a thousand smoldering embers snuffed out before their time, because you think that’s all you have left in you. You only throw up your hands in defeat and refuse to search for a single spark in the shadows that surround you, because the tank already feels beyond empty anyway. You’re running on the proverbial “E” …for exhausted. And what you know more than anything, is that there is no flame without the fuel.
You’ve grown familiar with the coldness, where once you knew what it was to feel the heat on your face. To feel the fire in your eyes. Let’s be honest friend, you once knew what it was to shine. To leap in great leaps. To stride in great strides. And to tight rope walk the outer precipice ledge of your dreams without once a fear of falling. You once knew what it was to fly. And now here you sit, thinking that you’re grounded. That you’ll never once know what it is to catch air beneath you again. But the truth is, the real get down to the heart of it, nitty gritty truth of it is, you’ve just forgotten where it is that you keep your wings.
You’ve tied anchor after anchor around your heart. Tethering up your actions in the tangled web of someone else’s dreams. Of what they say success is. Of what the world tells us we should want, when it (and ok, Bono) remind us that we still haven’t found what we’re looking for. It tells us what we’re not enough of. And it tells us what we’re not at all. What we will never be. And it reminds us that everyone else around us is blessed with a muchness- a look at me, I have it all togetherness- that our broken hearts will never come to know.
And so one by one, the firefly sparks we used to throw off into this world blink and burn out. Convinced that they too will never be enough. So what’s the point in trying to shine? That fire in our eyes, that one that used to tell us who we are and what we stand for, is no longer staring back when we look in the mirror. Until we can hardly recognize the scattered ashes of the person who has taken our place.
I know you feel like that light in you has gone out. But trust me, because I’ve been there before too. You only think it has.
You have no idea what a light you are in this world. You couldn’t possibly know. Of the numbered masses who take shelter and warm themselves from the comfort and constance of your fire. Of the paths that you have been a light & a lantern for. Of the ways home you & you alone are lighting at this very moment. There are untold many whose lives have been made better, bigger, brighter just because they happened to stumble upon you, and like a beacon in the darkness you helped them find their way again.
So I know it feels like that has gone out for good now. I know it feels like that fire you only sort of remember now must have actually belonged to someone else all along. But the truth is, this world needs you on fire burning up the darkness. For there is far too much darkness in the world. It needs you blazing the trail and lighting the way for those who come behind you. The real truth is, you have no idea how brightly you shine and how far your light reaches, but that is only because it is a light that comes from within. And even the sun doesn’t know what it is to feel sunlight on its face, but that doesn’t stop it from shining on.So do what you need to do today. Rest, recharge, take a few days to fill that tank. But then come back shining brighter than ever.
Because that light in you hasn’t gone out my friend. You only think it has.
And the truth is, the world needs more lights just like you.
