SUMMARY:Overcoming Comparison & Imposter Syndrome Group coaching masterclass | 60 minutes
DESCRIPTION:You know comparison doesn’t help. The imposter voice lies; we know this and I’m sure you’ve read the quotes about how everyone feels this way. But it persists and you still feel it. \nIt’s the kind of thing that’s triggered by an announcement in your writing community\, the moment you send a submission out and you start scrolling other writers’ success stories. Maybe it comes to you when you’re sitting in a workshop and deciding that everyone else in the room is more talented\, more prepared\, more legitimate. \nWhatever the trigger: the result is the same. You step back\, you play smaller. It stops you from sending the work\, or you don’t take the chance and don’t let yourself be seen. And creativity suffers. \nThis masterclass with Creativity Coach Meg Dunley addresses this. \nWhat we’ll cover in this masterclass\nThis isn’t about ‘just believe in yourself’ (if only it was that easy). That advice is true but is only half useful. This masterclass will help understand the actual mechanisms of comparison and imposter syndrome in the writing life: what triggers these feelings\, why writers are especially vulnerable\, and how to interrupt them in real time and build long-term resilience. \nYou’ll leave with:\n\nA clear understanding of what comparison and imposter syndrome are and why having them is not the problem\nFive specific strategies for interrupting comparison spirals when they’re already happening\nA personal interruption plan: your triggers\, tools and specific response\nA rewritten narrative about your writing identity that holds up under pressure\nThe mindset shift that separates writers whose careers comparison kills from writers who write anyway\n\nWhat we’ll cover\n1. The mindset shift\nWhy imposter syndrome is evidence of ambition\, not inadequacy. \nThe comparison mechanism: what’s happening when you measure your insides against someone else’s outsides \nWhy writers are particularly vulnerable and why the writing life almost guarantees regular encounters with both \n2. 5 practical strategies with interactive exercises\nEach strategy includes a real-world example from writers’ lives\, a practical exercise\, and immediate application. \n3. Community Q&A\nWhat makes this different\nThese masterclasses are interactive and engaging rather than lectures. You’ll leave with practical tools you can use immediately\, plus connection with other writers who understand exactly what you’re navigating. \nWho this is for\n\nWriters who spend more energy comparing themselves to others than writing\nWriters who struggle to submit\, share\, or be seen because the imposter voice is too loud\nWriters who feel behind (peers\, where they ‘should’ be\, some imagined version of their writing life)\nAnyone who has played smaller than they wanted to because of comparison or self-doubt\nWriters who want to write anyway\, even when the spiral starts\n\nInvestment\n\nFREE for coaching members\n$20 single session ticket\n$180 annual pass (access to 10+ masterclasses and monthly mindset newsletters throughout the year)\n\nYou are not an imposter. You are a writer in the middle of becoming. Come learn how to write from that place. \nGrab your ticket here
