Show Notes

Season 4, Episode 6: As we prepare to enter the workforce and reflect on our high school and college years, we're thinking a lot this week about impostor syndrome and those creeping feelings of self-doubt which have held us back from recognizing our merit and entering new spaces and opportunities. In this episode, we debunk impostor syndrome by tracing it back to its root causes: the lack of representation and systemic barriers in spaces we've occupied, comparison and competitive environments, and reconciling the pressure to associate our value with our productivity and arbitrary markers of success.
