Imposters
That nagging voice of self-doubt is a familiar, if unwelcome, companion for so many of us, especially in professional and personal spaces where we’re told to project nothing but confidence. Imposters, from The Telegraph, tackles this universal experience head-on, but with a refreshingly practical lens. Instead of abstract advice, host Claire Cohen sits down for a frank conversation with a different highly accomplished woman each episode. These are leaders, innovators, and creators across fields like business, culture, and health who have all grappled with the feeling of being a fraud. The heart of this podcast lies in the specific, often messy, details of their stories. You’ll hear how a CEO quieted her inner critic before a major board meeting, or how an artist pushed through the fear that her work wasn’t legitimate. It’s about the tangible strategies and hard-won mindset shifts that helped them move forward, not just the admission that imposter syndrome exists. Listening feels like gaining access to a series of invaluable, private mentorships. The conversations are intimate and revealing, focusing on the human experience behind the success. For anyone who has ever questioned their own place at the table, this series offers both solidarity and a roadmap, proving that the path to overcoming self-doubt is as unique and varied as the people walking it.
