Jessica Alba Reveals How She Overcame ‘Imposter Syndrome’

Actress and business mogul Jessica Alba recently opened up about battling imposter syndrome and Tanya Rad shared on-air she’s never felt more seen.

"I've always had this imposter syndrome thing – and I always felt like I didn't deserve to be here," Alba revealed of building her business during the third installment of #StraightTalk, an interview series organized by the employee resource group Women @ Meredith. "I always felt like it was God, and luck and magic that had got me here," Alba continued. "But I think being with my husband [producer Cash Warren] over these years, he let me know, 'Hey, it's all the hard work you've always put in. You deserve to be here as much as anyone else.' And over time I guess I've sort of let that sink in and marinate."

Alba founded the Honest Company in 2012 – which became a leader in the natural baby category and a trailblazer for clean products — in 2015. Forbes has since valued the company at $1 billion.
