hink Imposter Syndrome is a "womenโs issue"? Think again.
In this eye-opening episode of Masculinity Unmasked, hosts Greg Styan and Max Wilson sit down with Massimo Roselli โ Senior Career Coach at LHH and a trauma-informed expert on Imposter Syndrome โ to unpack the truth behind one of the most pervasive identity-level struggles in the modern workplace.
๐ฅ Key insight: Over 62% of both men and women experience Imposter Syndrome daily or regularly.
But men tend to push through it โ silently โ often at the cost of their mental health.
Massimo brings a powerful perspective on why so many high-performing men suffer in silence, and how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and harsh self-criticism are actually forms of coping, not healing.
๐ก In this conversation, we cover:
Why traditional โpush through itโ strategies make Imposter Syndrome worse
How career success can deepen self-doubt instead of solving it
The difference between identity-level change and surface-level performance
Tools to build internal confidence without burnout or overwork
Why silence โ strength โ and how to break that cycle
If youโve ever:
Hit a big milestone but still felt like a fraud
Burned out trying to prove your worth
Struggled with belonging in your role or leadership position...
...this episode will challenge what you thought you knew โ and give you real tools to move forward.
