They didn't try to stop you because you were incompetent. They tried to stop you because they saw your blueprint.  In this episode of the Impostor Phenomenon Podcast, we reframe everything.  The doubt you've been carrying was never yours to begin with — it was placed  there by people who recognized what you were capable of and felt threatened  by it.
