    Today's episode is my favourite and I'm so proud of my cousin because we touch upon Imposter Syndrome, lets give it up for Shermane! Lets GO! So some background information on imposter syndrome to those who have never heard of it, basically it is a feeling or an internal experience where one feels like they aren't good enough or as competent enough as what others perceive them as. My cousin and I talked about where imposter syndrome potentially stems from and perhaps how she struggles with it daily as her job is in the creative media industry.ย
