Episode 171 - Let’s Talk About Imposter Syndrome

Imposter Syndrome is the condition of being anxious or nervous and feeling like a “fraud” or a “phony” within a given community or job title. This week Shawn welcomes Acacia, Ishita, and Nina to talk about it in the context of being partially sighted and having this feeling of being stuck between the blind and sighted communities and not always feeling a part of either. From using mobility canes to asking for accommodations, they discuss their internal struggles with feeling like imposters as well as the reactions from others that can sometimes reinforce these feelings. It’s an open and frank discussion that you won’t want to miss! Blind Beginnings’ mission is to inspire children and youth who are blind or partially sighted and their families through diverse programs, experiences, counseling and peer support, and opportunities to create fulfilling lives.
