Who Let Us In?

In this episode, Rebekah and Tiffani kick things off by sharing a major milestone — being honored in the Dallas Business Journal’s 40 Under 40. While it was a moment of recognition, it also surfaced deep feelings of imposter syndrome that lingered throughout the entire process.

They dive into how imposter syndrome shows up, particularly for high achievers and within marginalized communities, blending personal reflections with broader insights. Later, they welcome Natalie Thomas, a mental health professional and founder of The Remix Center, which reimagines healing through culturally responsive care and community.

Natalie offers powerful coping strategies and unpacks the emotional toll of navigating high expectations without adequate support. She also shares her own journey, addressing anxiety and grief with honesty and empathy. The conversation touches on how technology, including tools like Latimer AI, can support mental wellness, and emphasizes the importance of community, vulnerability, and self-acceptance.

The episode closes with lighthearted moments and affirmations that remind us all: you are enough.
