The Impostor Syndrome Files
Do you ever feel like a fraud? Struggle with chronic self-doubt? Wonder if you really deserve your role?
You’re not alone. As a leadership coach who’s battled impostor syndrome myself, I created this podcast to provide a place where professionals can share their stories, shed the silent shame and feel seen.
Each episode features honest conversations with professionals from all walks of life who’ve faced impostor syndrome and found ways to move through it. We’ll also hear from experts who share practical strategies for managing ourselves and shaping environments that reduce the threat of impostor syndrome.
Let’s erase the stigma. Let’s stop pretending we’re the only ones. And let’s come together to share, support and rise above the fear that keeps us playing small.

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore ways to take back our power when others undervalue us. My guest, Gayani Weerasinghe, shares her personal story as a first-generation immigrant, woman of color and scientist turned lawyer and how she has powerfully navigated environmental conditions that often lead us to doubt ourselves.
