Damn Daniel, back at it again with the Imposter Syndrome! That's is 100% correct.

Thanks to everyone who reached out and gave comments on the last show, especially in the Discord channel! In this episode, we come back with some archetypes of Imposter Syndrome and our own techniques on getting through the fleeting thoughts and feelings. Let us know which archetype you identify closely with, whether that is here, Instagram or on the Discord.

S3EP3 I'm an Imposter (Syndrome) Pt 1
Fraud. Fake. Waste of space. Some of the words I call myself when I am stuck in the bubble of Imposter Syndrome. Do you feel like "a fraud" or "a phony" and doubt your abilities?
We've cooked up a two part tasty tackle, filled with Imposter Syndrome feelings and experiences (including a bit of a sh*tty football boot experience).
