That creeping thought of “I don’t belong here” can turn high performance into a nonstop stress sprint, and the bill eventually comes due in sleep, mood, relationships, and health. We sit down with Zee Clarke, a Harvard MBA and former corporate VP who knows that pressure firsthand, to unpack how imposter syndrome grows and why it so often leads to overworking, anxiety, and burnout.

Zee shares her practical WebAV framework for countering self-doubt: welcome the voice, gather evidence, use breathwork to calm the nervous system, train the mind with affirmations, and visualize success so your body stops bracing for impact.
