Ever felt like a fraud waiting to be discovered? Imposter syndrome can be a frustratingly persistent companion for many of us. Join Kindall Tyson, a seasoned licensed professional counselor and myself as we dissect this phenomenon that affects a staggering 70% of Americans. Together, we unravel how this syndrome doesn't merely stem from internal turmoil, but is significantly influenced by our environment, systems, race, gender, and even episodes of life transitions.

Ever been terrified of achieving your dreams? There's a name for that - 'achievemaphobia', and Kindall and I dive right into this intriguing aspect as we explore the fear of success and how it compounds the feelings of imposter syndrome. We open up about our personal experiences, discussing how societal expectations, comparisons, and the daunting prospect of being 'found out' can fuel this phobia. And speaking of fuel, we tackle the subtle but harmful effects of microaggressions in our workplaces and personal lives, and how they fan the flames of imposter syndrome. This episode is packed with vulnerability, practical wisdom, and open conversation - so come join us in challenging the norm and understanding ourselves a little better.
