003. How Imposter Syndrome Cost Me $10,000: A Story of Self-Doubt
On today's episode, I dive into the story of how I faced imposter syndrome and lost $10,000 as a result.
Imposter syndrome isn’t an illness, but rather internalized oppression that tells us we don't belong, often when we're stepping into roles of greater power or transitioning into new environments.
I share my journey as I grappled with self-doubt while taking on a leadership position within an office of diversity in New York City government.
