Did you know that almost 80% of people have experienced imposter syndrome at some point? According to the American Psychological Association, people with imposter syndrome live with the ongoing fear that they’re going to be unmasked as being incompetent and unable to perform according to expectations. When you boil it down, imposter syndrome is a combination of constant inner judgment and the underlying belief that we are just not good enough.

Before doing research, I assumed that imposter syndrome is experienced mostly by women. But that's not exactly correct. In this episode, I cover who is most likely to suffer from it, as well as the 5 sub-types: Perfectionist, Natural Genius, Superperson, Expert, and Soloist.

In this episode, I talk about my own experience with major imposter syndrome and how I analyzed and questioned my way out of it. And finally, I share my ideas for helping reframe being new at something and not voluntarily making ourselves small, so that we can all leave imposter syndrome behind this year.
