Imposter syndrome is not a syndrome. It’s internalised systemic failure.

We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In this episode, Chisom challenges the concept of ‘imposter syndrome’ and argues it’s not a personal failing — it’s internalised systemic failure. Using her Three Clarities Framework, she traces the origins of the term, exposes how it pathologizes individuals instead of diagnosing racist and sexist systems, and provides nine diagnostic questions to help you see clearly that you’re not broken. The system is. This episode is diagnostic. Grab a pen, and do the work. This episode gives you the language and tools to stop fixing yourself and start addressing the structures that make you doubt your own competence.Support the show-----------------------------------On Overnight Wisdom, new solo episodes drop every Wednesday, with occasional guest and solo conversations released on Sundays.Streaming & Social LinksVisit our website https://overnightwisdom.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Chisom-Udeze Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5pD7OuPqWKDsd5ymoo7lSzApple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overnight-wisdom/id1804746544Instagram https://www.instagram.com/overnight.wisdom/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@overnight.wisdomLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/overnightwisdom/ RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2464633.rssConnect with Chisom on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chisomudeze/
