Welcome to the show, Sara Munro!! Today's episode explores the realm of imposter syndrome and its disproportionate impact on women. Sara candidly shares her journey with imposter syndrome throughout her career. During one memorable incident, a man questioned Sara's choice to jot down "you are enough" in her bullet journal, revealing a lack of understanding regarding women's struggles with self-doubt.

Sara sheds light on the historical backdrop of imposter syndrome. She dives into research showing its varied impact on marginalized groups, who often perceive the systems themselves as flawed rather than just feeling out of place. Sara advocates for the reconstruction of these systems to foster true equity and combat imposter syndrome effectively.

Moreover, Sara shares her encounters with implicit bias and toxic behaviors in certain work environments following verbal missteps. Drawing from her scientific background, she has cultivated resilience and acknowledges that setbacks are a natural aspect of any endeavor. She emphasizes the importance of embracing imperfections and taking risks to overcome the sense of not belonging.
