Imposter Syndrome: In between potential and proof

 In this episode, we:

- Talk about why it has taken us this long to do an episode on imposter syndrome
- Share our thoughts (and experiences) of being imposters, and link to some resources by experts
- Connect the dots between feeling like an imposter and motivation (and why “fake it till you make it” might not be great advice
- Offer some suggestions to combat these feelings (including a big ol’ reminder that we all think we are frauds - maybe that can be helpful)

What is The Amanda Wagner Podcast?

The Amanda Wagner Podcast is the place to eavesdrop and participate in conversations about making choices about how you spend your time, who you surround yourself with, and figuring out what you want to be known for. This is a place to talk about the challenges of bravery, living thoughtfully and strategically, and finding a way to be known for something.

Your hosts are ambitious, thoughtful women who both want to be known for something, and decided to stop waiting for things to be ‘just so’. As clients zero and one of AW, we openly share our thoughts and experiences as we discuss the lives we want to live, the impact we want to have on the world, and what we want to be known for.
