If you’ve ever shared that you’re feeling it, the most common reaction is ‘oh my gosh me too’. I’m talking about Imposter Syndrome - it’s brutal, unhelpful and feels horrible. So why do we experience it and how can we tackle it?
That’s exactly what we’re going to take down today - by the way this episode was requested by Jess on Instagram - if there’s something you’re struggling with follow me @thatshelpfulpod and send me a DM, because if you’re going through it likely many of us out here are too!
My guest today is the wonderful Dr Jessamy Hibberd, she‘s a Clinical Psychologist & the Author The Imposter Cure: How to stop feeling like a fraud and escape the mind-trap of imposter syndrome.
