| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the podcast. I am so happy y'all are here and I'm so excited for this |
| 0:11.6 | episode because I am just feeling really on fire about this subject and feeling very |
| 0:16.8 | inspired and inspired and hopeful for it. But if you guys don't know, my name is Michelle, |
| 0:22.8 | I'm the host of this podcast, but what's next? And today we are talking about Imposter Syndrome, |
| 0:28.8 | which is a topic that I have touched on in a few episodes before but I've never done |
| 0:32.9 | just a whole episode and it is something that has been weighing heavily on my mind lately and |
| 0:38.1 | I'll kind of share why and a bit but I just want to talk about it. I want to talk about what |
| 0:43.2 | exactly is Imposter Syndrome if it's actually a thing because I'd always heard this term thrown |

| 1:25.9 | to kind of fight Imposter Syndrome and then at the end if we have time I wanted to start doing |
| 1:30.7 | this because I can never get to all of my advice questions that I get submitted for my life advice |
| 1:35.6 | episodes that I do monthly and I thought it would be fun to start including two or three at the end |
| 1:40.9 | of the episodes when they aren't 40 minutes long so if we hit that mark I'm going to share a few |
| 1:46.4 | of my responses to a few questions that I haven't gotten to because that's my favorite part of this |
| 1:51.1 | episode or I think part about the podcast is it feeling just really much like a community and |
