In this episode, we're digging deeper into imposter syndrome. First, a reminder from last episode that you do not have a syndrome if you have these imposter feelings. You are not broken. Further, imposter feelings are not just a problem with self-esteem. This is a common misconception. Self-esteem is actually just a small contributor to these very real and uncomfortable feelings. That's why we'll focus on six key factors that can contribute to imposter feelings and some practical advice for addressing each one. It's likely you'll resonate with at least one of the factors, offering a great place to focus your attention to reduce imposter feelings. Joy Lab and Natural Mental Health are community-supported.
