Episode 37: Imposter Syndrome

Season #1

On today's podcast we aim to wrap our hands around Imposter syndrome. Dr. Doug defines it broadly as the creation of an ideal or expectation in the outer world that doesn't match our inner world identity. As Driven individuals with a more complex emotional identity, and often a heavy dose of perfectionism, many of us experience imposter syndrome. We talk through our personal experience with imposter syndrome, deliberate the potential differences in how it shows up for men and women, and discuss the ways we can ultimately harness it for healthy humility and a life of mastery.
