Listen Later

In this week’s episode, we tackle the topic of Imposter Syndrome.

What is Imposter Syndrome?  According to verywellmind.com it “refers to an internal experience of believing that you are not as competent as others perceive you to be. While this definition is usually narrowly applied to intelligence and achievement, it has links to perfectionism and the social context”

Some common characteristics of Imposter Syndrome are:

  • Self-doubt
  • An inability to realistically assess your competence and skills
  • Attributing your success to external factors
  • Berating your performance
  • Fear that you won't live up to expectations
  • Overachieving
  • Sabotaging your own success
  • Setting very challenging goals and feeling disappointed when you fall short
  • If you have ever experienced any of these symptoms, then this is the episode for you!

    Did you know that Imposter Syndrome (or Phenomenon) disproportionately affects high-achieving people and can affect a person at many points in life?

    Cheryl shares her experiences with Imposter Syndrome and the steps she is taking to overcome it.
