| 0:00.0 | What up? Welcome to this edition of the Shalim show. Today we're recording from the car |
| 0:11.8 | and we're talking about Imposter Syndrome. It's something that everybody I think experiences. |
| 0:17.6 | I'm sure you have too. And today I'm going to talk about my own experience with it, what |
| 0:22.5 | you can do about it and honestly I'm going to share with you why Imposter Syndrome is |
| 0:27.4 | not necessarily a bad thing. So what is Imposter Syndrome? I'm sure you're very much aware, but |
| 0:35.8 | generally speaking this isn't like a formal definition, but I would consider or I would |
| 0:41.4 | describe Imposter Syndrome is a feeling that you are faking it, that you're impersonating someone, |
| 0:50.8 | that you don't truly have the value or the expertise or the experience or the worthiness |

| 1:51.6 | felt so strange. Like what are we doing? It really did feel very, very peculiar. I felt like |
| 2:01.0 | an Imposter. They don't give you like a book. Like you read books, but you're just like wait a |
| 2:05.4 | second. This real life human that you have to take care of. Yeah. And you're like wait a second, |
| 2:10.0 | I've never done this before. And like you just it's impossible to figure it out unless you just |
| 2:16.8 | do it. But you just like try the best you can, but you do feel like an Imposter. You feel like |
| 2:20.7 | oh, I'm a parent now. Yeah, and I do not, but you are. You're a parent, but you're not because |
