Are you still waiting for imposter syndrome to disappear before you write? What if you didn’t have to?

Hey co-authors! In this episode, we take a hard look at how imposter syndrome shows up in academic writing—not just as a feeling, but as behaviors that sabotage your progress. Changing our reactions with imposter syndrome is the first step to taking control of our writing and protecting our mental health.

If imposter syndrome is something you struggle with, then tune in to learn:

• Why overreading, overediting, and overcleaning are forms of self-sabotage

• How comparing yourself to more experienced scholars shuts down your voice

• What really keeps people from finishing—and submitting—their writing

• How to reframe writing as a growth process, not a test of your worth

If you’ve ever delayed a project, changed your topic, or felt like everyone else has it figured out—this one’s for you. Imposter syndrome is common. But with the right strategies, it doesn’t have to be in charge. If you find this podcast helpful, subscribe and leave a review!
