Imposter Syndrome

Shakesha and Ryan may feel like frauds, but apparently they're not alone. 70 percent of all people suffer from imposter syndrome, a common condition psychologists describe as, "the persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved." The hosts dive into what drives their own sense of imposterdom while sharing the results of their Clance IP Tests, a measure used to evaluate to what degree a person feels like a fake. They offer some advice on how people can stop feeling like their success is undeserved and discuss how to tap into one's spiritual new car smell. On WTF, they recap a disturbing court decision in a case of NYPD officers raping a detainee and explore why it is that police officers are held to different standards than the rest of society. Finally, Ryan breaks a promise he made to himself earlier this year and decides to ask Shakesha for her thoughts on the democratic field of presidential candidates.
