Carrie's Update...

The project that sparked this episode is nearing completion, so here's the outcome of this conversation.  I found that after the recording, the imposter syndrome faded away... not immediately, but over the course of a week, I was back to my normal-ish self. Sharing was worth the discomfort! Also, thank you to everyone who messaged me to share their own stories and give support. Ya'll are THE BEST!!!
