Dr. Najwa Javed, Podiatrist-turned-entrepreneur, talks to Lahari about Imposter Syndrome, a commonly occurring feeling that one will be exposed as a "fraud" or "phony", despite external evidence. When coupled with the stigmas and messages internalized by brown women, this can result in a lot to unpack and work on so that women can own their successes and navigate their life with a strong sense of self. We cover what it is, why it occurs, how to mitigate, and how Dr. Javed has experienced this in her life as a woman, a professional, and mother.
