Episode 38: Just a Freaking Guy
from Girl... You Good?® | Boundaries, Burnout & Personal Growth Hosted by Cassandra Pickett
You know the advice "picture the audience naked"? I finally get what it's actually about, and it's not the naked part. It's the human part. This week: the elite mentor I put on a marble pedestal, the hundred small aggressively-normal moments that cracked it, and the click that changed everything — the nerves were never about him. They were about a character I'd invented, and then I was mad at myself for not measuring up to fiction. Plus a real 10-second tool for the next time you feel small in a room: name the pedestal, picture one aggressively normal thing about them (microwave staring, mac and cheese off the spoon, cried in the shower), and remember they feel exposed too. The confidence you're seeing is usually just exposure with better lighting. Imposter syndrome, pedestals, and why "people are just people" isn't the consolation prize. It's the whole point.
