Suffering in Silence: Addressing Imposter Syndrome in the Workplace

Send us a text

In this episode of the Lead with Levity podcast, host Heather Walker and licensed therapist Athina Danilo dive into the topic of imposter syndrome. They discuss how many people suffer in silence with this issue and how it can cause individuals to feel like nothing they do is good enough, constantly striving to achieve more and tie their worth to their achievements. 

Heather and Athina explore how societal and cultural messages reinforce the idea that our worth is tied to our work and accomplishments, and how this can make it difficult to shift our mindset and embrace the idea that we are worthy just as we are. The conversation gets deep and psychological as they talk about how to recognize and combat negative self-talk and rediscover the different pieces of ourselves beyond what we do for work. If you're someone who feels like you're always putting others before yourself, constantly striving for perfection, or feeling like you're not enough, this episode is for you. 

Tune in for some helpful insights and tips to help combat imposter syndrome and find your worth beyond your accomplishments.
