Fake It Till You Make It

from All The F Words · host Joanne Greene

What do you do when you don’t feel good enough, smart enough, or competent enough? Well, some people—including some experts—might suggest you act as if, AKA fake it ‘til you make it, this episode’s subject matter. They claim that by behaving as if you’re already happy/successful/doing what you hope to be, you can manifest it into reality. Other experts, however, think this is, at best, a band-aid for feeling like a fraud, and, at worst, a reckless, irresponsible tactic, especially in the world of business. Check out Joanne’s new podcast: “In This Story…with Joanne Greene”. In each episode, Joanne shares a flash nonfiction essay, showcasing tales and observations from her animated life. Find it from wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. Joanne’s book, “By Accident: A Memoir of Letting Go” is available for pre-order from your favorite online book seller. Release date is June 20, 2023. Stay tuned to hear if Joanne will be speaking at a bookstore near you.
