Christina picked the topic for today’s episode and we ran with it! Join us for an extra vulnerable conversation where we discuss the following:
<ul>
 <li>What is imposter syndrome and who suffers?</li>
 <li>Feeling like you don’t deserve to have a voice</li>
 <li>How we have struggled (and continue to struggle) with imposter syndrome in our personal lives and on the podcast</li>
 <li>Types of imposter syndrome and which ones we relate to</li>
 <li>Short- and long-term effects of imposter syndrome</li>
 <li>Feeling like an imposter when you’re sick and in recovery</li>
 <li>Feeling fake as a result of undergoing change (even though change can be good!)</li>
 <li>Ways we validate ourselves and take up space</li>
</ul>
