Episode 4: Help! I Have Imposter Syndrome!

Season 1 · Episode 4

Think imposter syndrome doesn't apply to you? Think again. In this episode of Firing and Wiring, host Jena Mahne talks with Dr. Bethany Ranes and Dr. Norah Kennedy to unpack one of the most misunderstood psychological phenomena in the workplace (and why the people who feel it most acutely are often the highest performers in the room).

How do you start to notice imposter syndrome when it doesn't look like the textbook definition? What does it mean to "collect evidence" against a false belief? Why does asking "What am I doing here?" at the wrong moment literally kill your flow? And what does a Pac-Man ghost have to do with any of this??

Whether you're managing a team, finishing a degree, or just trying to take a compliment without deflecting, this episode will help you name the patterns of imposter syndrome so you can start recalibrating.

Ever been told to "think outside the box" only to find yourself staring blankly at your screen, trying harder and getting nowhere? In Episode 3, Dr. Bethany Ranes and Dr. Norah Kennedy join host Jena Mahne to unpack the neuroscience of creativity and the aha moment, including why forcing creative thought is basically the worst thing you can do. Spoiler: your best ideas aren't coming from your desk; they're coming from your shower, your walk, your mind wandering, or any other random unstructured time. Tune in to learn how to actually set yourself up for creative breakthroughs at work (yes, even if you have a packed calendar and a skeptical boss). No hustle culture required, just science.

AI isn't necessarily a problem, but how you're using it might be.

In Episode 2, the hosts of F&W break down the cognitive science of offloading, why handing tasks off to AI might unintentionally erode mental skills you can't afford to lose, and how one simple shift in your prompting style can change everything.

Join us for an AI conversation that's all science and no fearmongering (not an easy feat!). Shout out to Karl in Minneapolis, MN for this episode's awesome topic!

BONUS CONTENT: Here is a link to Dr. Ranes’ LinkedIn post on using AI to encode rather than offload - enjoy! https://acesse.one/c4pcoh3

Tune in for real strategies (no fluff, just science) on how to set yourself up to do your best work, even when the pressure is high or you feel like dragging your feet.
