Q: "I feel like a fraud sharing advice when smarter people exist. How do I get past this?"

Short answer: you don't need to be the expert — you need to be one step ahead of the person you're helping. The best teacher of a beginner is often someone who was a beginner last year, not the 20-year veteran who forgot what confusion feels like.

Impostor syndrome usually means you're comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone's highlight reel. Reframe your posts from "here's the truth" to "here's what I'm learning." That's honest, it's relatable, and nobody can call you a fraud for documenting your own path.

The permission you're waiting for isn't coming. Authority is built in public, not before you go public.
