11. Imposter Syndrome and the Cyber-toothed Tiger

10/04/20 • 53 min

How do we find fulfillment in our day-to-day jobs? In this episode, Kristy and Angie talk about the career fog that many of us Millennials are trying to find a way out of as we grapple with imposter syndrome, quarter-life crisis, and the crippling fear of failure and social rejection. Added bonus of some ASMR and coochie-cleaning hacks.

Highlights:

Kristy attempts at SWDTM ASMR edition
Imposter syndrome and chasing the non-existent “perfect job”
Cyber-toothed tiger and fear of social rejection
Nietschze and eat your fucking chips!
Angie role plays with Kristy

Takeaway:

There is no perfect job and we need to look at both extern and internal factors to our dissatisfaction
Check in on yourself when you’re judging yourself and others
We can’t control our feelings, but we can control our thoughts
Work through the fear; practice exposure scenarios with friends and start small
