This episode is being released in honor and dedication to the 9 lives lost during a training accident off the coast of California on July 30, 2020. 7 marines, and 1 sailor were lost during a training event. It has been nearly 48 hours since I have spoken to my husband, and while I know he is safe, the sadness I feel for those families that lost their loved ones is immeasurable. When something in the military happens, you don't feel overjoyed that your loved one is safe, you feel the loss just as much as they do. This is the reality of having a loved one in the military, and one that we work so hard to forget. The not so glamorous side to the danger and peril they endure. The duty and sacrifices that my sailor makes for our country are commendable and honorable. I am so proud of my husband every single day.

This is my first anonymous episode due to the nature of the content at hand. My guest has requested to remain anonymous, and I am respecting her wishes. Jane Doe feels a considerable amount of imposter syndrome in being a stepmom to her son, and a wife to someone in the military. Imposter syndrome impacts all of us in a different way, and I hope that you find this story helpful if you are struggling with this.

Bonus Episode 3: ACTIVISM STILL MATTERS!

I am releasing this episode in light of recent events. I just want to remind everyone that Black Lives Still Matter! In Portland, things are getting quite scary, as private police are terrorizing protestors. Trump is using Portland as a test city. I have said it before, and I will say it again: if black lives do not matter, then neither do all. Activism is incredibly important right now, as I have seen a stark fall off on people talking about the movement among my timeline. One person in particular though, has not. Rachel Mercer is my guest for this bonus episode, and we met through our local community group on Facebook. We clicked immediately, and are two white women who want equality for all. We continue to educate, inform, and stay abreast of the information. Rachel felt imposter syndrome as a woman in an auto shop, and she has a great message.

Imposter syndrome rears its ugly head in so many different ways for people, and I am happy to share Jordan's story. I am so grateful to get to share a different journey with you each week!

Are we all pretending this is over, or can we stop acting like toddlers and try and flatten the curve? America, I know it's your birthday and all tomorrow, but can we agree to disagree over how some of ya'll been acting? Let's stop complaining about our freedoms, and not being able to do things, and try and keep ourselves and other safe. This bonus episode is about COVID. My friend Marianne Halloran, a data scientist, has been tracking COVID-19 since DECEMBER. I interviewed her on April 15, 2020 --- what she said then still resonates now, except WE ARE STILL IN THIS.

We discuss being a foreigner in America, feeling like you don't deserve what you earn, and being a female in the science world. As a data scientist for Bio, I respect the FUCK out of her. She is an amazing person, with so many good things to say. I am proud to be her friend. Imposter syndrome impacts everyone in a different way, and I love to tell my guest's stories.
