hink Imposter Syndrome is a "womenโ€™s 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.


๐Ÿ”ฅ 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.


๐Ÿ’ก In this conversation, we cover:


Why traditional โ€œpush 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 youโ€™ve 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.
