Imposter syndrome goes by a variety of different names but it all leads to the same thing. Do we feel worthy of our accomplishments and is there something we can do in order to feel like we belong? We've battled through on and off throughout our careers and it happens more often than we think. We will talk about ways we've overcome it and and things people can do to help themselves overcome it. As always, we'd appreciate your support by liking and sharing with others and thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to listen. Check us out!
