Have you ever felt like a total fraud? Maybe you\u2019ve questioned whether or not you belong? Or fear that you\u2019re not deserving? I definitely have and so has our guest for today\u2019s episode, Licensed Psychologist Dr. Lisa Orb\xe9-Austin. During our conversation Dr. Lisa and I break down what exactly imposter syndrome is, why and how self sabotage might show up unannounced to the party that is your life, and why claiming to be a \u201cperfectionist\u201d is not the flex you think it is.\xa0
