Have you ever felt like you can't celebrate your own successes? Or you question why you were invited to the metaphorical or physical table at important work meetings? Welcome to Imposter Syndrome 101. What may seem like an internalized condition, may actually be part of a social strategy to keep marginalized groups in their place. The episode also explores the origins of Imposter Syndrome, the types of “Imposters”, how to combat our Imposter Syndrome and even its predecessor from the 1890s “Bicycle Face”.
