Feeling Like a Fraud? Dope N' Dharma on Imposter Syndrome
I think we should spend more time focusing on the things that we're proud of and build on that, as opposed to sitting around being upset or self-conscious about the things that we're not.
Ever felt like you're just winging it and someone's going to find out? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Dope N' Dharma', hosts Lui Delgado and Trinity Phillips dive deep into imposter syndrome—a feeling many of us know all too well. They break down what it means to feel like a fraud despite your achievements and share their personal battles with this sneaky phenomenon.
Lui opens up about moments when he doubts his role as a spiritual guide, while Trinity reveals his struggles with meeting his own goals. But it’s not all doom and gloom; they offer practical advice on how to tackle these feelings head-on. Self-compassion and self-awareness come up as key tools in overcoming imposter syndrome. They emphasize the importance of celebrating your strengths and accomplishments instead of constantly comparing yourself to others.
The duo also explores how this syndrome can creep into different areas of life, like parenting and creative pursuits, reminding us all to build ourselves up rather than tear ourselves down. If you’ve ever felt like you’re just waiting to be 'found out', this episode offers both comfort and actionable steps to help you reclaim your confidence.
