Surrounded by all these talented people, the doubt crept in - &lsquo;What am I doing here? I don&rsquo;t belong.&rsquo; But then Rachel pulled me aside and said the words that changed everything: &lsquo;It&rsquo;s okay to have this moment.

Overcoming imposter syndrome isn&rsquo;t easy, but with a little encouragement and self-belief, you can turn self-doubt into a profound sense of belonging. This is my story of finding the courage to step into the light.</p>
