Welcome to this episode of Best Friend Therapy, where we chat about what's on our minds, to get deeper in our minds.

This week we're talking about Imposter Syndrome and why, if you've ever felt like the odd one out, you're in good company.

Join us on an Inception-like head-scratcher as we experience Imposter Syndrome whilst talking about Imposter Syndrome in an attempt to make the episode "good enough", learn why tennis remains Elizabeth's Achilles heel and why Emma will never have a job as a pizza chef.
