The Thriving Coaches Podcast
I used to be terrified of speaking to groups - so much so that I once packed my company chequebook to refund everyone if I bombed! In this short clip from a recent masterclass, I share the insight that flipped my whole relationship with impostor syndrome. You’ll hear: Why that “I’m a fraud” feeling can be a compass, not a curse How your ego’s panic is often your soul’s signal to move forward The intuition shift that turned my self-doubt into momentum If you’ve ever heard the whisper, “Who are you to do this?” just before something big, this might turn impostor...

I’ve got a short, 4-minute clip that dives into a question I hear all the time: Are non-duality and the Three Principles really different? And what if you love them both?

Here’s a taste of what you’ll discover in this episode: What “speaking behind the mask” really means - and why it’s so important for a speech to be transformative.

info_outlineEarlier this month, I had the privilege of speaking at a Masterclass hosted by my dear friend Simon Paine, co-founder of the Rebel Business School. Simon is a Clarity Coach and a successful entrepreneur in his own right, and it’s always a pleasure to speak with his community.
One of the highlights of the session was a live coaching demo I did with Evie, who shared her struggles with imposter syndrome and her dream of stepping into her full potential.
What unfolded was one of those transformative conversations that cuts through noise and gets to the heart of what really holds us back - and what’s possible when we trust the wisdom within.
In this week’s podcast episode, you’ll discover:
- Why imposter syndrome is nothing more than a case of mistaken identity - and how to see past it.
- The truth about fear and courage
- How to uncover the path life is calling you to take (the one your heart already knows), even when your head doubts it.
After our session, Evie sent me a heartfelt email about her experience. With her permission, here’s what she shared:
Hi Jamie
I just wanted to drop a personal thank you for yesterday's Master Transformational Impact session via Rebel Business School.
Whilst I found the whole session to be inspirational, the one on one section did exactly as it said on the tin. I've awoken today with a released sense of clarity and purpose. So much of what you spoke about resonated deeply with me, and our conversation cracked open something inside that I've been working on for a number of years.
It felt as though in that held space I finally felt my heart take over from the negativity in my brain. It was powerful.
So, thank you again. I am truly grateful for our conversation yesterday.
Warmest wishes
Evie Jones
This episode is a chance to reconnect with your own inner wisdom and say yes to what life is calling you to create.
Tons of love,
Jamie
