In our first episode back, we're diving into a story from a brave Physician Assistant who recently fought for and won some well-deserved workplace perks. But now that they've got them, they're not quite sure what to do.
Have you ever felt like you were pretending to be something you're not? Like you were stepping into a role that didn't quite fit? That's how our listener feels every time they walk into the physician's lounge or step up to the cafe counter to grab a complimentary snack. They've earned these perks, advocated for them even, but when the checkout ladies give them the side-eye or when there's a queue forming behind them, the doubt starts to creep in.
Imposter syndrome is a tricky thing, isn't it? We've all been there. The feeling of being out of place, of waiting for someone to "call you out," can be paralyzing. Our listener is struggling with this very issue - do they announce their new status, or do they just skip out when the line gets too long?
We'll discuss the psychology behind imposter syndrome, why it's so prevalent, and most importantly, how to combat these feelings of self-doubt. So grab a cup of coffee (yes, you deserve it!), sit back, and let's get started.
