  • Imposter syndrome is real, and it arrives whenever we’re doing important work.

    I experienced a spike of anxiety the other day, right around the moment I finished a job interview. It lasted about a day, and it took me even longer to figure out why it happened in the first place.

    It wasn’t from a lack of confidence in my ability to do the work. It was having confidence, and possibly being wrong.

    It was imposter syndrome.

    And it’s probably true. But I will show up anyway and will do the important work that needs to be done. If the opportunity is given to me.
