The voice in your head is wrong: A conversation about imposter syndrome with Beth White, Ph.D.

August 22, 2024

Have you ever felt like you don't belong in the job you have, or that if people really knew you they wouldn't like you, or that you would be unmasked as a fraud? Imposter syndrome happens to all of us at some point in our lives. In this episode of the ORISE Featurecast, host Michael Holtz talks with Beth White, Ph.D., ORISE senior program manager, about this important issue. Many of the participants Holtz has interviewed over the years talk about the imposter syndrome they have felt. White breaks down what imposter syndrome is, how it often originates in young people, how it manifests psychologically and emotionally, and how to overcome it. Holtz and White also share moments from their own lives where they've felt like imposters. If you've ever felt that, this episode is for you.
