Chris and Pinaki reacted in real time. Then Bree told them: that was my story.\nThis week, we pick up right where we left off. Now that Chris and Pinaki know it’s Bree’s own experience, the conversation shifts — from advice to something more honest. Bree fills in what the post left out: how close she and Amy really were, how the comparison and competition showed up in their friendship long before it showed up at work, and how the whole thing ended (spoiler: COVID and a merger did some heavy lifting).\nBut the real reason Bree wanted to share this story isn’t the betrayal. It’s what it left behind: a deep, persistent imposter syndrome that still surfaces even after a great annual review. If someone your best friend thought you weren’t good enough, how do you fully trust yourself again?\nIn this episode, they discuss:What the post left out — how close Bree and Amy actually wereWhen a friendship starts draining more energy than it givesWhy confrontation without curiosity often makes things worseThe difference between someone doing something to you vs. for themselvesHow imposter syndrome takes root — and why it’s so hard to pull outWhat organizations miss when they only seek competence without passionCompetition vs. collaboration: why pitting teammates against each other backfiresPinaki on love, creativity, and a quote from Fist of the North Star\nIt’s one of the most personal conversations we’ve had on Between the Seasons.
