353 | Unqualified on Purpose: Why Feeling Like an Imposter Might Be a Good Sign, ft. Melissa Hughes

Ever felt like you don’t belong in the room? Like if people really knew who you were, they’d find out you’re a fraud? That nagging voice of imposter syndrome can steal your time, stall your growth, and keep you from the very thing God has called you to.

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Melissa Hughes—TikTok influencer, International Speaker, best-selling author, and CEO of Rise Social Media Agency. Melissa has been featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show, in the New York Times, and has reached millions with her message of faith and authenticity.

We’re unpacking the truth about imposter syndrome—the unhealthy kind that keeps you chasing things God never assigned to you, and the healthy kind that shows up when the calling feels bigger than you (hint: it should). Melissa shares how to stop wasting time trying to “grow into it” and instead step boldly into the work He’s prepared, trusting Him to multiply your efforts (and your time)

You’ll walk away with practical steps to live authentically: knowing who you are, what you’re unnaturally good at, and most importantly, what God says about you. Because when you stop striving to prove yourself and start surrendering, you’ll experience acceleration, impact, and lots of joy.

If you’ve been holding back, second-guessing, or stalling because of imposter syndrome, this episode will breathe courage into your next step and remind you—it’s not about you, it’s about Him.

YOU. HAVE. TIME.
