Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

Imposter Syndrome is rooted in clinical psychology  

“the authors of this paper were clinical psychologists and the last part of the paper was talking about psychotherapy and using several therapeutic approaches concurrently”

Imposter syndrome was conceived about the experiences of a specific group of women

“the term impostor phenomenon is used to designate an internal experience of intellectual phonies which appears to be particularly prevalent and intense among a select sample of high achieving women”

Not all so called Imposters are created equal

“It seems to me that there are  imposters in the workplace; some of them are entitled to feel like imposters”
