It’s a sign that you’re at the beginning of your journey and you may need more time, practice, and feedback. ⁣ ⁣ But let’s say you’ve done all that – you have experience and every reason to feel confident… yet those feelings persist. Why? ⁣ ⁣ The answer may surprise you: IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.⁣ Because if we look at the origins of “imposter syndrome,” we’ll see that it’s actually a scheme 😬⁣ ⁣ In her brilliant Smith College commencement address (swipe 👈 to listen!), Reshma Saujani tells the hilarious and mind-blowing story of how in the 1890s, scientists made up a condition called “bicycle face” that seemingly only afflicted women who dared to go for a bike ride in the 1890s (scandalous, I know).⁣ ⁣ And what @reshmasaujani ultimately reveals is that “imposter syndrome” is our modern-day bicycle face; it’s a *strategy* to silence certain groups of people and keep them from showing up. ⁣ ⁣ In other words, those haunting feelings of insecurity are more than likely a number of societal barriers telling you to be “less than.” So the most important thing to remember is that it’s NOT on you as an individual to simply rise above those barriers; it’s on all of us (especially those who have benefitted from those barriers) to transform them.⁣ ⁣ Let go of imposter syndrome’s power.⁣ Subscribe to my newsletter at the link in bio 🔗 to learn more⁣ ⁣ #ImposterSyndrome #GrowthMindset⁣ ⁣ 📸: Zoey Grossman⁣ (@zoeygrossman) ⁣ [ID: BDH, looking in the distance, wraps herself in a royal blue velvet curtain.
