episode 19: Yes, you do belong here: breaking down imposter syndrome

I’m guessing that you’ve heard of imposter syndrome before or have even dealt with it personally. Don’t worry, you’re not alone if you are currently struggling with this or if you have previously experienced these feelings. Women (specifically women of color) are at a higher risk, and 70% of adults may experience imposter syndrome at some point in their lives.

This episode breaks down exactly what imposter syndrome is, the different types, common characteristics, ways to recognize it, and tips on how to overcome it and change your mindset.

I share my personal stories of imposter syndrome (believe me, been there, done that), and how I can occasionally still slip into that way of thinking. If you are currently in the thick of imposter syndrome, I hope that this episode can provide more information and the tools to stop this experience in its tracks.
