Pep Talks With Barb & Sav

Imposter syndrome makes you feel like you're a fraud. Any success you have or affirmation you receive is eclipsed by an inner voice that tells you, "You don't deserve this. You're not as smart as everyone else. You're not as capable as everyone else. You're not as [FILL IN BLACK] as everyone else." Self-doubt plagues your mind as you wonder if you belong. In this episode, Barb and Sav talk about imposter syndrome's manifestations, including their own experiences and some research!

Even though we love bubble baths and chocolate... self care goes FAR beyond cliché caricatures we see on Instagram. Self care requires humility, intention and sometimes sacrifice.

In the second part of the Boundaries miniseries, Barb and Sav talk about the categories of boundary styles and how those styles often serve as self-protection from pain.

Thirty minutes with Mary Beth left us in awe of how smart, kind, and passionate she is. In this episode, she chatted about one of her specialties- family dynamics- and how some toxic dynamics can feed into generational trauma if left unchecked. Mary Beth specializes in treating teens and young adults, with a focus in family dynamics, relationships, anxiety, transitions, and trauma. Her graduate degrees in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University (right?!) allow her to assess, diagnose, and treat social, psychological, and behavioral disorders and illnesses. Mary Beth was an absolute delight to interview, and we gleaned so much from this short conversation. We hope you love her, too! To find her on Instagram, check out @yourjourneythrough!
