This week on The Brink with your favorite dynamic duo, Ringo and Ridgey, we dive headfirst into the swirling abyss of imposter syndrome—that nagging voice in your head that insists you’re a fraud, despite, you know, all the actual evidence that you’re crushing it. Clinical psychologist Selena Clark joins the lads to unpack why even high achievers often feel like they’re just winging it and how cultural and gender influences can crank that self-doubt dial up to eleven. Ridgey bravely admits he once felt like an imposter hosting this very podcast—Ringo assures him, he still does.

Selena breaks down the different imposter syndrome archetypes (spoiler: perfectionists and know-it-alls, you’re on the list) while the boys share their own awkward tales of self-doubt. They discuss how social media, where everyone’s life looks like a highlight reel, fuels the “why am I not good enough?” fire, and how important it is to recognise the difference between actual inadequacy and that pesky inner critic lying through its teeth.

But fear not, dear listeners—it’s not all doom and existential gloom! Selena shares practical strategies to kick imposter syndrome to the curb, like the 90-second rule to process emotions. From breathing exercises to celebrating your wins—no matter how small—this episode reminds us that acknowledging those self-doubts is the first step to banishing them. So tune in, laugh at the boy's expense, and remember: if you think you’re an imposter, you’re probably just doing something right.
