502 Combatting imposter syndrome | Dr. Kay De Simone, DSW

Dr. Kay De Simone, a wealth mindset coach and complex trauma
psychotherapist, joins Articulating to discuss the concept of
imposter syndrome in the context of independent schools. Imposter
syndrome is often fueled by external factors such as societal
biases and institutional practices rather than individual
shortcomings. 


Dr. De Simone shares tools and strategies families can use to
support their children so they can build confidence and
resilience, and also self-advocate in educational settings.
