94. Totally Rethinking Imposter Syndrome w/ Dr Jill Stoddard, Psychologist, Author, Speaker, Podcaster

Have you ever felt like you don't belong at the table? Or that one day soon, maybe even today, someone's going to question why you’re doing what you do or whether or not you’re even qualified? If you've had these thoughts and experienced anxiety around these ideas, you like me, and like today's guest, and like SO many others, have experienced what we know as ‘Imposter Syndrome’. In this incredible episode Dr Jill Stoddard tells us why ‘Imposter Syndrome’ is in fact, not at all a syndrome, who and just how many people experience this phenomenon, the five different subtypes, what we can do about it, how we can all start thinking and talking about it differently and so much more.

Jill Stoddard is passionate about sharing science-backed ideas from psychology to help people thrive. She is a psychologist, writer, TEDx speaker, award-winning teacher, peer-reviewed ACT trainer, and co-host of the popular Psychologists Off the Clock podcast.
