Episode 27: Impostor Syndrome

I’m going to say it right off the bat: I don’t like the term impostor syndrome (or imposter if that’s your preference).

It implies sickness, something for which we need treatment. And that it’s somehow something we “come down with.”

Though I don’t love the term, it describes a very real experience of very many real human beings. 🙂

So today we’re going to break it down — what is it, why does it happen, and what can you do if you’re experiencing it?

Thanks for listening.
