Do you struggle with acknowledging your own accomplishments and letting yourself feel proud of things you done on a chronic basis? Do you feel like you are "fraud" when people give you compliments about things you've done? In this episode, Risa Williams talks to imposter syndrome expert, Stevon Lewis, about what imposter syndrome is, how it feels to have it, how it's often tied to perfectionism, and how it affects our ability to feel good about things we're doing.

If you find it hard to feel good about things you've accomplished, than this is episode is for you!
