Make Impostor Syndrome Your Superpower & More From Jen Coken

  1. Make Impostor Syndrome Your Superpower & More From Jen Coken Dr. Christie McMullen 5:42

In this Productive Joy the recap episode, Dr. Christie shares key takeaways from a conversation with Jen Coken, whom she met at a Women in Leadership for Healthcare conference focused on helping people create spaces to be their best selves.

Jen’s recent book, Make Impostor Syndrome Your Superpower, is aimed at women in STEM but applies broadly, emphasizing that pervasive negative thoughts can be recognized and redirected. Dr. Christie talks about the idea that “perfection comes in moments,” using a bathroom remodel as an example of how a single bad moment doesn’t ruin everything unless you give it power.

Dr. Christie encourages listeners to name their fears, understand why impostor syndrome shows up, and choose which inner voice to follow.
