Are you an outdoors person that doesnt always feel like being outside? Ever wished for a trip to be cancelled so you can spend the day on the couch? Or do you love days inside as much as missions in the mountains, and question what that means for your adventuring identity? 

Today we are talking about the wrestle of feeling not good enough, like we belong or like we are an imposter. How we often compare out multi-dimensional selves to just one dimension of someone elses life, and decide our worth overall based on that very flawed comparison. 

We discuss tips on how to change your perspective on feelings of nervousness or doubt, and some fun insights into celebrating the little things in life, so we remember all the good we achieve everyday. 

Listen in if you struggle with imposter syndrome or feeling like a fraud.
