Episode 8: Who Let Me In Here?! Navigating Imposter Syndrome
Ever find yourself in a room or on a stage or scrolling through your own feed like… “Who let me in here?” Yep—welcome to the world of imposter syndrome, where self-doubt tries to convince you that you don’t belong.
In this episode of Confessions of a Multi-Hyphenate, we’re unpacking what imposter syndrome looks like (especially for folks juggling multiple passions and titles), why it shows up, and how to shut it all the way down. Because let’s be clear—you didn’t stumble into your greatness. You earned it.
5 practical strategies to navigate imposter syndrome:
- Name it when it shows up
- Keep a “receipts” folder of wins & kind words
- Lean into your support system
- Stop waiting to feel 100% “ready”
- Embrace the awkwardness of growth
Quote of the Week: “I had to believe in who I was and what I was doing. If I didn’t, why would anyone else?” — Issa Rae
Multi-Hyphenate Move of the Week: Write down 3 things you’re proud of—big or small. Then speak them out loud. Repeat after me: “I deserve to be here.”
Imposter syndrome isn’t just about insecurity—it’s about internalized pressure, perfectionism, and the fear of being “found out.” For multi-hyphenates, it can be even more intense. Why? Because we often wear many hats and take unconventional paths. It can leave us wondering if we really belong.
