  • Imposter Syndrome is a misnomer morphed from Imposter Phenomenon coined my sociologists to describe high achieving marginalized people who maneuver in spaces outside of their comfort zone. However, when continuing to excel when frightened, insecure, or even feeling fraudulent, is really a sign of courage and bravery. Catherine is a Community Health and Family Medicine physician who has spent over 20 years serving the medically underserved. She founded Health Wellness and Weight Loss Centers, LLC to fill the gap between the ill-care model of healthcare delivery and the well-care model that it should be. She is a health and wellness coach and weight loss consultant. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

    This is powerful. Reframing your thoughts is a tool we all need. You are not an imposter, you are BRAVE.

    It's Because PRAISE BELONGS TO GOD. I'm just talented because there is sb who gave me this talent, and i need to honor him. We see this people of talent create things and observe their contribution and applaud them for their competence. And they are a creation and a Gift to us from God. He gifted them with talent. We are a receptacle, and he is a giver. what do we have? The exaltation which is due to him.

    This motivated me and Same time made me Sad. Because my Dad was like my SuperMan and Loosing him at Age 15 was so painful because My Cheerleader was gone and all our plans for my future were gone. I lived in self doubt because I only get that dad voice of.. 'I am proud of you " it took me time to internalise those words and tell me that to my self. It was hard but I am glad Of my Progress, even though it seem so slow but I am glad to be moving.. 😅. and I am sure my Dad is proud of Her 28 yr old little Baby girl from Heaven❤️

    Practice telling yourself, no matter what others think of you, what you think about yourself matters the most
    Reframe your thoughts to celebrate who you really are,
    Strong, Courageous, and Brave.
    Thank you so much Dr. Toomer
