Have you ever been in a room and have the overwhelming feeling you don't belong? Thoughts like "I'm not good enough," "I'm not qualified enough," "I don't know enough" flood your mind. There's a name for that: imposter syndrome. Yes, it's a real thing. No, you're not alone. This is one of the most common challenges leadership coach Kim Meninger hears. Fortunately, she has practical strategies to not only identify the feelings but create an action plan to build confidence, raise self-awareness, and find more joy. She talks with Maria about:
- What imposter syndrome is & how it can exist differently for men and women
- When & how to ask for help with "outing" yourself and your insecurities
- Perfectionism -- why this stops us from reaching our full potential
- Motherhood juggle & tips to find your strengths

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
