We are back with another re-release, this time discussing colorism, imposter syndrome, our culture and how we show up at work, and how our culture impacts our idea of success. This isn't just a podcast episode; it's an immersive journey into self-discovery, cultural reflections, and empowering narratives.
If you are an OG fan of Impostrix Podcast, you heard these conversations before in Episodes 4 and 5 of Season 1. You get both conversations in one this time around!
Do you remember the first time like you felt like an imposter? In the opening segment of this conversation, Karla and Whitney spill the tea on how imposter syndrome leaves its mark on immigrants and people of color in the U.S. Karla, a bilingual and bicultural mental health therapist from Mexico, candidly shares her earliest memories feeling "imposter syndrome." Whitney jumps in, shedding light on the struggle of feeling like imposters even within her own community. It's a real talk moment.
Then they talk colorism. Karla and Whitney dissect this sensitive subject, tracing its roots back to colonialism and white supremacy. They lay bare the current landscape, exploring how skin tone shapes opportunities and perceptions within families and communities. Parenting kids with varying brown skin tones? They've got you covered, navigating the complexities and responsibilities tied to combating colorism within families.
And then there's racial capitalism! The hosts guide us through the challenges of building a career that is in alignment with their values, resisting the cultural norm of profiting off others' pain. Karla shares how her private practice's business model intentionally aligns with her cultural values, proving that financial success doesn't have to compromise integrity.
