Ep 9 | Women, Self-Doubt, and the Confidence Gap We Don’t Deserve

Why do so many smart, capable women feel like frauds even when they’ve done the work? This week, Adrienne and Kristen tackle imposter syndrome head-on: from the sneaky ways it shows up to the generational patterns that shape how we deal with it (or don’t).Adrienne opens up about writing her book and questioning whether she was “qualified” enough to write it at all. The two take a mini imposter syndrome quiz from Dr. Valerie Young’s work and unpack the different types - like the perfectionist, the soloist, and the expert - and where they each see themselves and each other.They also dig into how imposter syndrome hits women harder than men, what Gen Z gets right about self-confidence, and why boomers just powered through it without talking about it. If you’ve ever felt like you were faking it - even when you’re killing it - this episode is for you.🔗 Learn more about Dr. Valerie Young and her work on imposter syndrome:https://impostorsyndrome.com/valerie-young/
