Despite our hard work and accomplishments, many of us secretly fear that we don't know what we're doing professionally and any day now we'll be exposed. (Fittingly, the audio on this episode somehow reverted to an embarrassing pause and throat clearing right at the start!) My guest Peter Harrison writes about and leads workshops on this phenomenon of "impostor syndrome," and in this episode he shares what he has learned in his own career and what he recommends for releasing these fears.

We discuss:

• The importance of knowing and naming your skill set
• Perfectionism and how it relates to impostor syndrome
• Links between impostor syndrome and ADHD and autism
• Middle school trauma and the message that self-acceptance is unacceptable
• Identifying a "home base" of who you are as an adult
