Episode notes
Two Sides Of Impostor Syndrome
- Impostor syndrome has two sides: feeling you don't deserve to be where you are and failing to meet external expectations.
- Both sides compound and reinforce each other, deepening insecurity and self-doubt.
Early Perfection Pressure
- Mallory remembers feeling enormous pressure for perfection as early as kindergarten and confusing frustration with parents as personal failure.
- She only recently labeled those feelings as impostor syndrome after learning about executive function and ADHD in grad school.
Use Feedback Selectively
- Be adaptable and receptive to feedback, asking what you can learn rather than assuming it invalidates you.
- Discard feedback that doesn't help and keep what can be used to improve your next attempt.
