Episode notes

Imposter syndrome, also known as imposter phenomenon or imposterism, is a psychological occurrence in which an individual doubts their skills, talents, or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. Let's talk about this, where we've experienced it, and how to overcome it! Welcome back to Men Talking Mindfulness or MTM - thank you for being here with us! Each week we break down and work to demystify an aspect of mindfulness and make it meaningful to you! This Episode we are going to become more mindful of imposter syndrome.
