Finding the Balance with Loni and Christine
Loni and Christine are physician assistants (PA) with backgrounds in Emergency Medicine and Primary Care who currently work as professors in higher education. Loni, seeing the end of the wellness line in the ER, and Christine, trying to prevent it in the office, have joined forces in discussing the topics of disease prevention and what it means to be well. Far beyond the bounds of a medical office, we are passionate about improving health literacy and increasing awareness of the daily changes we can make to maximize the quality of our lives. Finding the balance between the "coulds," "shoulds," and "woulds" of life is a quest worth embarking on. We do not have all the answers, but life is about the journey, and we look forward to sharing ours with you.

Finding the Balance with Loni and Christine
Episode 58: From Imposter Syndrome to Confidence: Understanding the Journey of Skill Acquisition
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever wondered why the more you learn, the less confident you sometimes feel? In this episode, we explore the fascinating relationship between imposter syndrome, the natural progression of skill acquisition, and the Dunning-Kruger effect.
We discuss why beginners often overestimate their abilities, why developing expertise can paradoxically lead to self-doubt, and how growing awareness of complexity is actually a hallmark of advancing competence, not a sign of inadequacy.
Whether you're a student, educator, or healthcare professional, this conversation offers practical insights into navigating self-doubt, embracing lifelong learning, and trusting the process of becoming an expert. Join us as we reframe imposter syndrome, not as proof that you don't belong, but as a common and often healthy stage in the journey toward mastery.
