[Video] Imposter Syndrome.
Imposter syndrome AKA feelings of self-doubt, like you don't deserve opportunities, or don't belong in a particular space. These feelings often lead us to struggle in environments where we're being evaluated, like school or work. Today M.E.C. dives into her own ongoing journey in confronting her imposter syndrome, what helps her in times of doubt, and exploring how intersectionality plays a role. Here's to believing in ourselves, even when our inner critic and unwelcoming spaces make it more difficult. As always, you've got this. 🧡

Customer Reviews
Still in love, not just still.
Went back & still listening in 2024!
Reaffirming
Thank you for creating such invaluable content. To hear your episode around confidence in a time when mine was lacking was reaffirming, reinvigorating and profoundly shaping. You were able to articulate my thoughts and experiences in a way that was so raw, real and relatable you turned my week around. (And yes, I also listened to the episode on having a bad week.) Thank you for being such a genuine host and speaking truth for so many who are scared or unable to vocalize it themselves. 🩷 Don’t listen to the haters, your confidence scares them.
Manifesting
Thank u so much for this. It was inspiring and motivating. It also was refreshing to hear a podcast that is just so positive around goals.
