Episode Fourteen: Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway! (with Brooke Vick, Nick Rule and Linda Tropp)

How do you begin to feel like you belong in a certain
environment? A specific position? A new job? How can you start to
internalize your successes when they occur? In this episode, Tolu
and Kristina tackle the Imposter Phenomenon, better known as
Imposter Syndrome. They are joined by Brooke Vick (Associate
Provost at Muhlenberg College), Nick Rule (Professor of
Psychology at the University of Toronto), and Linda Tropp
(Professor of Social Psychology at the University of
Massasuchetts Amherst). They all discuss the origins of their
imposter feelings, how they have learned to work through them,
and how we can all begin to battle our own feelings of perceived
fraudulence. The term of the episode is Imposter Syndrome.
