Whether you spell it imposter or impostor — this is driving us crazy! — we can safely assume that most people have experienced imposter syndrome at some point in their lives. Even our role models, some of the most well-known and accomplished people, feel like frauds sometimes and struggle with confidence.
So this week we’re chatting about dealing with and working through imposter syndrome. We explore how to practice building self-confidence, tips for managing self-doubt — fake it till you make it, babe! — and whether being delusional is the ultimate life hack. We also discuss “boodle fights” and make the case for why Mindy Kaling could be our ultimate confidence queen.
