Impostor syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where an individual doubts their achievements, skills, or accomplishments, and has a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud or a fake. Despite external evidence of their competence, individuals with impostor syndrome tend to feel that they are not as capable as others perceive them to be, and they attribute their successes to luck or external factors rather than their own abilities.

Impostor syndrome can have significant repercussions on self-worth, as individuals with this syndrome often experience feelings of shame, self-doubt, and inadequacy. They may be highly critical of themselves, and feel that they are not good enough or deserving of success. This can lead to a cycle of self-sabotage, where they may avoid taking risks, or pass up opportunities for growth and development due to a fear of failure or exposure.

Tune into todays episode where we talk about our imposter syndrome and how it has impacted our self-worth over the years.
