Ep. 76 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

This episode of How To Twenty-Something talks about the complex world of imposter syndrome—how it shows up in our careers, relationships, and daily lives, especially in our twenties. Imposter syndrome, the persistent doubt in our abilities and the fear of being exposed as a “fraud,” is so common during this period because of all the new transitions and challenges we face. In the episode I shared how this can lead to underestimating our accomplishments, comparing ourselves to others, and even avoiding new opportunities. To combat it, I suggest building confidence with wins folders, embracing support networks, and pursuing your own path without constant comparison. 

Key Takeaways:

• Your self-confidence is directly related to the severity of your imposter syndrome
• Every new experience let’s imposter syndrome creep in
• Create a wins folder so you have something concrete to refer back to
• Relationship imposter syndrome is based on your own self-worth
• Comparing yourself to other people will invite imposter syndrome into your head
