Imposter Syndrome Pt. 1 - It's Not What You Think
In the first episode of this mini-series on imposter syndrome, we break down what it really means to experience feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy, despite evidence of success. We'll explore how imposter syndrome feels, the types of thoughts it brings up, and share data on its prevalence and impact. Plus, we’ll dive into the latest research that challenges the idea of it being a "syndrome" at all, reframing it instead as a temporary state that can be overcome. If you’ve ever felt like a fraud or questioned your accomplishments, this episode is for you. Tune in to understand why imposter syndrome happens—and what you can do about it.
1:00 - What Imposter Syndrome Looks Like
10:00 - Who It Impacts & Why
22:05 - What The Research Actually Says
