Episode 2732: Sara Stanizai explains how impostor syndrome goes beyond simple self-doubt, often leaving high-achievers feeling undeserving of their success and disconnected from their own accomplishments. She highlights how bicultural and immigrant communities experience this even more deeply, caught between family expectations and mainstream measures of success, which can lead to isolation, anxiety, and burnout. With practical insights on recognizing signs and seeking support, her work offers a path toward reframing self-worth and grounding it in personal values.
