With Dr. Jill Stoddard
11.9.26 | Interview | 48 min
Ever feel like you're not as capable as others think you are, or that it's only a matter of time before someone figures out you don't belong? You're not alone. In this episode of Spill Your Guts, clinical psychologist, author, and ACT expert Dr. Jill Stoddard joins us to unpack the imposter phenomenon, why it's so common, and why calling it a "syndrome" may be doing more harm than good.
Drawing from her book Imposter No More, Dr. Stoddard explores how self-doubt can persist even in the face of success, the role of marginalization and social comparison, and the different ways we try to compensate for feeling like a fraud. She also shares practical strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help us respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, get more comfortable with discomfort, and take meaningful action even when self-doubt shows up.
