Ever feel like you don’t belong in your academic program: like you’re faking it, and someday everyone will realise you’re not as smart as they think? That’s imposter syndrome.

In this episode, we unpack the psychology behind imposter syndrome in academia, why so many students and researchers experience it, and what you can do to cope. Whether you're a grad student, PhD candidate, or lifelong learner, you're not alone in feeling like a fraud.

🎓 Topics covered:
 – Why imposter syndrome is so common in higher education
 – How perfectionism and academia feed self-doubt
 – How to reframe your thinking and recognise your worth
