Overcoming imposter syndrome over 50: My honest story
|
Hello Reader, Back in 2017, I registered Mystique Professional Services with a clear dream: to build an Entertainment PR and Sponsorship Marketing business. And then... I put it on a shelf. For nine years, I made excuses. I told myself I didn't have the right connections, that the industry was too crowded, and most recently, "Who wants to work with a woman in her 50s launching something new? The truth? I had a severe case of imposter syndrome. Fear was stealing my joy and making me feel like a fraud, despite my decades of real experience in radio and media sales. Recently, something shifted. I decided I was done letting fear make my decisions. I am stepping out, sipping my daily herbal tea, taking it step by step like watching my container garden grow, and building Mystique on my own terms. If you have been holding back on a dream or feeling like it's "too late" for you, I wrote my latest blog post just for you. 👉 Read the full post: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Over 50 No, I won't tell you it will be easy, but it will be worth it. Let’s stop letting fear rob us of what we are meant to build. With confidence and warmth, Gillian (Queen Gee) |

For a long time, I wondered if I needed to choose just one. However, I have realized something important: I wasn't building four different lives. I was living one life with a common purpose. 🌿 Growing wellness🧶 Creating beauty👑 Living confidently🤝 Building meaningful relationships That's the heart of my new blog...
Hello Reader, I am sitting down at my desk today with a hot cup of Cuban Oregano tea - bold, aromatic, and deeply comforting. On my crochet hooks this week? Two statement ruffle hats (one crisp white, one classic black) for a queen. Over on the blog today, I am sharing a real reflection on Purpose-Led Growth at 57. The quick takeaway: Having a solid plan does not mean knowing every single step ahead. Real confidence is not about rigid certainty; it is about holding a steady compass, trusting...
Hey Reader, Happy Sunday to you. I hope you are easing into the day with something warm in your hand and a little quiet before the week picks up speed. I am starting this new week with a simple intention. My cousin recently brought home an oregano plant, and I have decided I want to grow my own from it, right here in my backyard container garden. I plan to take a cutting from her plant and see what it takes to root it, grow it, and eventually brew it into tea. I do not have all the answers...
