‘
In Episode 1 of the Imposter-Free Podcast, we define Imposter Syndrome and explain the different ways it can show up in our bodies and through Imposter Types.
“Impostor Syndrome is an experience of inadequacy, incompetence and to a certain extent isolation… This experience tells you that your objective successes are not down to your abilities…,but they are due to luck. You start feeling like a fraud because you can’t actually internalise the achievements that you have”
Vanetta
“When you feel like you don’t belong, your brain recognises that as danger”
Natisha
“Imposter Syndrome is so much more than ‘oh you feel like a fake’”
Natisha
