Imposter Syndrome seems to be the name of the game these days. Maybe it’s the way social media can feel like everyone’s personal and professional highlight reel (without sharing the days when things don’t work out), but I have heard more from our community about “feeling like a fraud” than possibly any other issue these days. So that’s why today’s podcast, recorded live in San Francisco at the Good Company tour, was so meaningful. Along with Shakirah Simley, Reem Assil, Windy Chien and Esmé Weijun Wang, I got to dive deep into these issues and how they affect us. Not just emotionally, but physically as well. We spoke together about how we feel these fears in our bodies, how we can support each other through them, and how we’ve all learned to own our confidence and ask for more of what we want and need in life and work.
A huge thank you to Books Inc for hosting our event and Allie Misch for her help on audio and everyone who came out to support this conversation. (And thank you to our art director, George McCalman, for the live drawing of our panel above!) xo, Grace
