Who doesn’t love a little self-reflection?? This week for our 50th full length episode we are “traveling back in time” by revisiting two past episodes and examining if we have any further thoughts/feelings on the topic…which of course we do. In this episode:

Dameca reflects on Episode 5: Podcasting Like It’s 1999 (Quick Question Episode) and expands on this issue of All Lives Matter.

Dani returns to Episode 2: Mixed and Married where we revisit the phrase “love is blind’.

Even our Happy Place is somewhat nostalgic Hint we’re still true believers.

It’s the last days of summer and most of us are still living that “stay-cation” life, so today we want you to live vicariously through our episode today as we talk about travel.

But first, we want to acknowledge that between the high cost, extra charges, availability and the impact flights have on the environment, we recognize that travel IS a privilege. It is with this mindset that we discuss our experience with traveling while being women of color.

“I’m a fraud.”

“I don’t fit in.”

“I am not enough…”

These are just some of the feelings we have experience as mixed women of color. When it comes to racial identity, feeling “enough” for our perspective halves has been a struggle. Some of these feelings fall into the category of Imposter Syndrome (IP). In this episode we examine this phenomenon and how we as Biracial Unicorns can navigate through it.

In this episode we:

We also have a couple of resources we mention in the episode. You could take the Clance IP Scale test and see if Imposter Syndrome is something you might be battling: https://paulineroseclance.com/pdf/IPTestandscoring.pdf

Afterwards, explore the different types of Imposters: https://interactioninstitute.org/racial-imposter-syndrome/

In this particular episode we strongly encourage anyone who relates to this phenomenon to find a safe community to express these feelings to. Expressing your “imposter-ness” is one way to dismantle the lie of inadequacy. Remember Unicorns, you are enough!

A couple of previous episodes we mention on today's show:

We end the episode on high note with our Happy Place hint It’s fizzy, floral, and fabulous!
