Social Change Roles and the Imposter Complex with Deepa Iyer
April 21, 2020 07:00 - 48 minutes - 67.2 MBAmidst the complex emotions that of course I’m experiencing and certainly bearing witness to while navigating the realities of the current uncertainty precipitated by COVID 19, one of the most common threads I can discern is a well-intended but despair-filled sense of, “but what can I DO?” “I’m not DOING enough.” And this DOING, and this enoughness, that need for identity has been one that has caused a lot of struggle and confusion and inefficiency. Comparison too. So when my friend and...

Getting Comfortable to Unravel the Imposter Complex with Dina Nina Martinez
July 03, 2019 07:00 - 37 minutes - 68.8 MBThere is a universality to belonging and wanting to belong, and that's what the Imposter Complex is deeply concerned about: Where we belong and where we don't belong. What makes us feel like we don’t belong can take many forms. Sometimes it’s the Imposter Complex trying to keep us out of action, and sometimes it’s an experience of oppression — transphobia, for instance. So in this episode of the Ready Enough podcast, I’ve invited Dina Nina Martinez to share how the Imposter Complex s...
Alcohol Misuse and the Imposter Complex with Andrea Owen
June 19, 2019 07:00 - 35 minutes - 48.9 MBThe language folx use when talking about problematic drinking is pretty much EXACTLY how I speak about the Imposter Complex. It keeps us out of action, doubting our capacity, and alone and isolated. And it has me thinking: when are we blaming our stuckness on the Imposter Complex when actually it’s alcohol use or overuse—NOT a mindset issue. And that’s why I invited Andrea Owen on the show. Andrea is a life coach and author who helps women let go of the shitty self-talk. AND she’s someone ...

Healthism and Fat Phobia with Hilary Kinavey
June 05, 2019 10:05 - 38 minutes - 53.3 MBI’ve been doing work around the Imposter Complex for a long time now, but my goal with this podcast is to shed light on folx who experience the Imposter Complex differently, depending on how they had experienced marginalization in the dominant culture. Because sometimes it’s the Imposter Complex that's in the way, but many times it’s a lived experience of racism or sexism, colonialism, micro-aggressions, trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, alcoholism or fat phobia... and Hilary Kinavey’s work wit...
Liberatory Consciousness with Desiree Adaway
June 05, 2019 10:00 - 28 minutes - 39.4 MBToday I am delighted to have my coach and friend Desiree Adaway on the show. Desiree helped me see, integrate, and then SPEAK this truth in every single and all gigs—that race, class, age, gender, ethnicity, gender expression, and other identities will always come into play as you do this work, and that I, Tanya, will not always be the best person to provide you support you need to do this work of shifting our mindset around leadership. AND I am committed to helping you reduce barriers and u...
