Have you ever felt as though you were the only clueless one in the room? Like everybody else around you had their life together, and you are just the fraud pretending to blend in? Whether you were in a work meeting, a classroom, a job interview, you just felt out of place, like you didn’t deserve to be there. Well, guess what? You’re not alone, and you have probably experienced imposter syndrome - that psychological phenomenon, the manifestation of yet another form of self-doubt making its way into yet another area of our life. It is the darkness that sweeps in to cast a shadow over the light of our accomplishments. 
In this episode, we open up to you about our experiences with imposter syndrome, and how it has manifested itself into our careers. We also discuss the article, 'You're a Fake: Imposter Syndrome and What You Can Do About It'  by Marcy Daniels, and Valerie Young's five types of imposter syndrome, and how they apply to us.

As the end of each year meets the beginning of a new one, we often begin planning a list of new year's resolutions. But if 2020 has taught us anything it's that life often has its own plans for us. So this year, we're scrapping our resolutions to reflect on the lessons this year has taught us instead. In this episode, we sit down and discuss the 20 lessons we've learned in 2020. 

While we love discussing politics and social issues, our friendship is also founded on giving each other advice. We wanted to share these conversations with you by introducing our new segment, Ask S&L.
Join us for our first Ask S&Lepisode as we discuss our personal journey post-graduation. We talk about trying new things, saying goodbye to friendships/relationships, and starting new chapters.

Since the beginning of quarantine, we have seen many jobs and schooling shift to the online world. For many of us, that means more time in front of a screen.

In a society that has become increasingly dependent on smart technology, we ask ourselves whether it’s possible to live life without it again, but also whether excessive use could have any potential adverse effects on our health.

After way too many mornings and nights waking up and going to bed with our phone-screens, last week, we challenged ourselves and our audience on Instagram to join us for a screen-less Sunday.
You might have already heard about social media cleanses, but on Sunday, we went 24 hours without phones, laptops, tablets, or televisions. Then we talked about it, and now you get to hear about our experience with our first screen-less-Sunday and the effects of screen time on mental health.

Before phone screens and hashtags, a middle-aged exile looked a lot like modern-day cancel culture. While a middle-aged cancelling left you expelled from the perimeters of society, these days, a tweet, alike, a post, and a hashtag have the power to end someone’s career. In the past few weeks, we have seen the power of cancel culture intensify as social movements take over social media. While it may seem harsh, cancel culture is much more than a weapon that can cancel people out of society. Can cancel culture also be used to place accountability on public figures for their actions. Should cancel culture be extended to private citizens? This also brings us to the questions of when is cancel culture necessary, and what are the pros and cons of such a phenomenon? Join our conversation in this episode as we discuss all of these questions.
