What if what you’re feeling isn’t just self-doubt, but something deeper and more persistent?
In this episode of The Impodsters Podcast, hosts John, Jeff, and Kyle dive into one of the most misunderstood aspects of imposter syndrome: the often blurry boundary between everyday self-doubt and the deeper, more chronic experience of imposter syndrome.
The hosts explore what makes imposter syndrome so unique – the internal voice that persists despite evidence of your success, and the emotional weight that comes with constantly feeling like a fraud.
Throughout the episode, they reflect on their own experiences and draw on insights shared by previous guest Kris Kelso, the author of Overcoming the Imposter. Together, they unpack how imposter syndrome often masks itself as humility or caution, and how it can lead to overworking, people-pleasing, or avoiding risk altogether.
They also challenge the well-worn phrase “fake it till you make it,” instead offering practical tools to cultivate humble confidence – the mindset that acknowledges growth while embracing vulnerability.
