Embracing Authenticity: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Embracing Authenticity. Do you live in Fear of being found out as “less than”? Or do you scroll through social media experiencing FOMO? Deep down, many of us have had the feeling that we don’t belong and we go through some pretty drastic measures trying to fit in and avoid the “yucky” feelings. Surveys indicate that upwards of 80% of adults in the U.S have experienced imposter syndrome at some point in their lives. That is to say, almost everyone feels the same way at one point or another. The journey towards genuine self-representation was explored in a recent episode of Sober Life Rocks with guest Loren King, who shared her personal narratives of confronting and overcoming the societal norms and facing down her shadow self.
