The Firefly Group

Have you ever walked into a new opportunity and thought, “Why me?” 🤔

In her latest Friends & Neighbors column, Firefly President and Chief Illuminator Stacy Weller Ranieri reflects on a moment from the early days of The Firefly Group, when a phone call led to an opportunity that felt bigger, more complex, and more important than anything she had taken on before.

She got the job. She was excited. And she still wondered if she really belonged there.

At the time, that feeling seemed like imposter syndrome. But looking back, Stacy sees it differently.

Maybe it wasn’t proof that she was in over her head. Maybe it was growth.

Because sometimes confidence is built by moving through the experience, learning as you go, asking better questions, and trusting yourself to figure out what comes next.

🌱Sometimes that uneasy feeling means you’re becoming who the moment is asking you to be.

Have you ever experienced imposter syndrome, or realized later that what you were feeling was actually growth?
