"Who am I to do this?" This isn't an interview, but rather a super casual jam session between friends, fellow artists, and podcasters about the fascinating and ever-hovering topic of Imposter Syndrome (IS). KJ and her friend, the gifted land and seascape photographer Margaret Soraya wonder: Is the pervasiveness of IS due to it having been labeled? Is it across cultures, genders, and all professions?
Takeaways & Ponderings
1. Is Self Awareness is key?
- Knowing boundaries and knowing what is uncomfortable?
- Having the conversations out loud and often will invite increased self-awareness
2. Gain confidence from doing
- Movement invites momentum and un-sticking
- What happens when resources aren't available to take action?
3. Imposter Syndrome reveals our harsh self-talk
- We are harshest on ourselves with comparison and evaluative/critique
- Would we speak so cruelly towards our best friends? Towards a child who is learning?
