Beginning Your Journey to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

The Impostor Syndrome is a prevalent issue among high-achieving women, where we feel like frauds despite evidence of our competence. Us women attribute our successes to luck rather than skill, which reinforces self-doubt and undermines confidence in our abilities. By acknowledging these patterns and reframing negative thoughts, us ladies can work towards overcoming this phenomenon and embracing our true potential.

These journals/workbooks were created or birthed out of a “God idea” to help overcome Imposter Syndrome or lack of confidence through self-awareness, Biblical affirmations, and self-reflection. Get ready to start your adventure of discovery and confidence. Available to purchase now:

Overcome Imposter Syndrome

If you’re feeling like an imposter, please know that you are not alone. It’s common to doubt yourself and your abilities, but I want you to know that you are capable and deserving of the success you have achieved.

Some signs of imposter syndrome include over-preparing, attributing success to luck, distrusting others, dismissing positive feedback, feeling unworthy of success, and being afraid of being exposed as a fraud. To combat these feelings, try acknowledging your accomplishments and giving yourself credit for your hard work. It’s also helpful to talk to others about your feelings and seek support from friends, family, or a professional. Remember, you are capable and deserving of success!

It’s Time for a Change!

We are on the verge of the last quarter of the year. If you are anything like me, maybe you are retrospectively reviewing what you have achieved or how productive you have been. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired of your situation and/or relationships not being healthy? Or you just need an objective & empathetic person to process or confide in because you don’t feel like you can talk to anyone close to you. If you are feeling this way…It is time for a change!

Call Nekeshia Limuel, LPC at 832-779-3039 for a consultation today!!

What are you trying to do or achieve in life? When looking at achieving goals one must ask important questions. Some desire to lose weight. Others want to start dating and be in a healthy relationship. Or maybe your career path is not clear. One must decipher first where they would like to be in life in that particular area. It is like (back in the day) being at the mall looking at a map that says, “you are here” and discovering that the store you are looking for is on a whole other level. Once I make a (SMART) Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic & Time framed determination/goal of where I aim to be , then another pivotal question must be asked…

How do I get there? Now that I know where I want to be, I need to know what STEPS that should be taken to reach that goal. It is not good enough to come the realization that the space you are in needs to change. The steps that are needed to create the life you desire has to brought to the forefront of awareness. In order to lose weight, one has to have an action plan noted with specific clear steps to take that move in closer to the end objective. For example, eating recommended portions, walking 3xs a week and eliminating processed foods from your diet are specific action steps aimed at the target of losing weight.

Talk with a trained professional to come up with a plan. Now call Nekeshia Limuel, LPC of Meraki Counseling to get help with creating the plan that gets you focused to create the life you envision for yourself.

Stop Enabling

What does it mean to enable someone? A lot of times,  family members or friends that mean well will take on tasks that they are not responsible for thinking they are being helpful. Helping is doing something for someone who can’t do it for themselves. For instance, caring for a loved one who is bedridden or physically unable to do something for themselves.

Enabling is doing something for someone who is more than able or capable of doing for themselves but they won’t. This looks like someone spending their money on shopping or recreational drugs but then asks others to “help” pay their rent. It also looks like someone throwing a tantrum saying “I don’t have anyone to help me out!” and people who care for them caving in knowing they consistently get their loved one out of their mess.

If you need help deciphering the difference between helpful and enabling behavior call Meraki Counseling to help you not only identify enabling behavior but create the necessary boundaries to stop enabling.

The time is now

If the year 2020 taught us anything, it definitely taught us that life is short and to expect the unexpected.

  • Numbers of people have been impacted by a pandemic that came like a thief in the night. COVID19 rocked our world in the beginning of the year 2020 and continues to effect us in many ways. All over the world people have fallen ill from the pandemic and/or have died from this horrible disease. Americans are grieving loved ones who died from COVID. Life is too short to not fulfill your dreams, to stop holding grudges and experience the only life we have been given.
  • No one, I repeat, no one expected a pandemic to occur. Millions of people are out of work. As of December 4, 2020, “the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. … number of unemployed persons, at 10.7 million” which leaves so many without the means to take care of essential needs (food, shelter, education and security). Most know what it is has been like to balance work and personal life (which now includes homeschooling children) while life as we know it changes in such an extreme manner. We expected the children to return to school after Spring Break but they could not do so with so many people infected from the disease. Life as we know it is will never be the same.

How do we deal with such major life issues? It is helpful to reach out to a trained professional to gain coping skills if you are feeling depressed, anxious, struggling to get along with family members (lock down forces us to spend significantly more time with those in our household) or just want to talk about all the challenges that have taken place this year. Call Meraki Counseling today 713-730-7032 so that we can work together to build up your coping skills to conquer life’s issues.

Holiday Stress

Holidays can be a stress trigger for many reasons:


Family members project expectations upon your life. Some feel like you should follow their lead in various areas like getting married, having a baby, what  you should major in or who you should be in a relationship with. Anyone of these things may place stress on you.


Material essence of holidays are stress inducing. Social media makes it even easier to see how others live and what they buy. It’s easy to get caught up in the never ending posts and before you know it you go outside your budget on spending for the holidays.
Some people have lost loved ones around the holidays and are constantly reminded year after year. Usually the phone calls and the “I was just checking on you” cease soon after your loved ones are laid to rest.


2020. Should I say more. This year beginning with a pandemic followed by economic and education delivery upheaval all while enduring racial and political tensions.  The perfect makings of a horror story.


Don’t forget to ask for help if you need it. Don’t forget to rest.  Don’t fail to live your own life. Don’t hesitate to reach out to a trained professional to process your feelings associated with or learn coping skills to get through the holidays.
