For Consult Monday, we discuss:

• The evolution of imposter syndrome as your practice changes.
• Accepting when things come easily.
• The possible benefits of peer support groups.
• Is the Imposter Syndrome coming from the Business Side or Clinical Side?
• Look into a business coach or finding a mentor (even if it’s a blog or podcast).
• As you push yourself, you’ll find a new learning curve.
• Talk about the experience while you’re in it: being overwhelmed, avoidance, succumbing to negative self-talk.

For What I Wish I'd Said Wednesday we discuss:

• Accept failures.
• Failure on some level, like imposter syndrome, is inevitable.
• Failure is an opportunity to see the bigger picture.
• Imposter syndrome is very universal.
• Don’t forget that everyone is human.
• You don’t suck.
• Imposter syndrome is normal.
• Perceived failure vs actual failure: the battle you can win.
• Failure sucks so bad in the moment but you can move forward.
• Recognize that you had the courage to go into the arena.
• The role of ego: when it tells you you’re not good enough, get out of the zone and concentrate on the people who need you.
• Be kind to yourself after you fail.
