Imposter syndrome is, sadly, a way of life for many working women.

Last year, a study found that two thirds of women had experienced imposter syndrome over the previous 12 months. Men, on the other hand, were 18% less likely to experience self-doubt than their female counterparts. Even Michelle Obama is part of the 70% of women who have experienced imposter syndrome at some point in their lives.
