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.
The Impostor Syndrome Files
It Just Takes One Person to Believe in Your Idea
In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore the double-edged nature of having an innovative idea. My guest, Naomi Shah, founder & CEO of Meet Cute, shares her story of leading a new media company in the age of covid. She and I also discuss how she’s come to see what makes her different as a strength and how she’s managed the pressure to be an “expert” in a new field.
