In today's episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Rachel Farganis, a 40-year-old mom of two, full-time professional photographer, who lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is a former D1 sprinter and high jumper. After dealing with a string of autoimmune issues and becoming a mom, fitness took a bit of a backseat. But, around 2018, a fellow photographer started their bodybuilding journey and it sparked a flame in her life.

Send us a textWhat if the confidence you've been chasing is really a mask that's wearing you down? I open up about imposter syndrome, fear of rejection, and the years I used alcohol and drugs to feel like I belonged. The stories aren't pretty—Vegas couches, dangerous company, and the slow erosion of self-worth—but they're true, and they explain why shortcuts to confidence always collapse.Sobriety didn't magically erase my doubts; it gave me clear ground to do the work. I talk through the humbling season of losing jobs, driving Uber to keep moving, and learning to accept where I am instead of clinging to a fantasy of where I should be. We get into practical tools: using transcendental meditation to sit still and face hard truths, putting action behind prayer, and choosing surrender over force so progress doesn't rely on white-knuckling everything alone. I share how making amends—especially around a stalled AI venture—helped loosen the grip of imposter thoughts and made selling from service feel possible again.You'll also hear why real community matters. Recovery gave me people who show up, no questions asked, and that kind of support flips the script on isolation. Along the way, a carful of executives reminded me that even polished professionals wrestle with the same fears. If you're leaning on alcohol or weed to outrun rejection, consider this a clear warning: the bill comes due, and it's brutal. There's a better path built on honesty, small daily actions, and faith that meets you halfway.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott open up about imposter syndrome — the belief that you're never good enough, never qualified enough, and that one day everyone will “figure you out.”With humour and honesty, they share personal stories of childhood bullying, masking, perfectionism and self-doubt, and how growing up misunderstood leaves many autistic and ADHD adults feeling like their achievements aren't real. From turning down opportunities to assuming every success is luck, they explore why confidence is so difficult for neurodivergent minds.They discuss how imposter syndrome shows up in work, relationships, creativity and social media — and how therapy, self-compassion and supportive people can slowly rewrite the story.They explore:Why imposter syndrome is so common for autistic & ADHD adultsGrowing up hearing you're “lazy,” “too much,” or “not trying”How masking and people-pleasing destroy self-worthThe fear of failure — and the fear of successSocial media, comparison and anxietyWhy confidence takes time and why small wins matterWhen self-criticism becomes self-harmWhy reaching out can save people from spiralling aloneThis is a raw, validating conversation for anyone who has ever worked twice as hard and still felt like a fraud. If you struggle to believe in yourself, this episode is proof that you're not alone — and that healing is possible.Our Sponsors:

When burnout hits, most people think they're simply tired. But underneath the exhaustion, there's often a deeper driver: shame — that quiet voice that says, “You're failing. You should be stronger.”In this episode, Dex unpacks how shame silently fuels isolation and self-abandonment in high performers, and what it really takes to break that destructive cycle.Through the story of “Mark,” a high-achieving executive who spiralled into withdrawal and disconnection, Dex reveals the hidden mechanisms of shame and how they erode confidence, relationships, and health — all while convincing us to “work harder.”You'll learn practical, immediately usable steps to reclaim self-trust and reconnect with your power — even in the middle of burnout.What You'll LearnWhy shame is the invisible engine of burnoutThe Shame–Isolation–Self-Abandonment Loop and how it traps high performersThe biology of shame: how it drives withdrawal and shutdownWhy masculine conditioning amplifies shame in leadershipFour Steps to Break the Shame Spiral:Name the shamePractice tiny acts of self-connectionReach out to a safe personRecommit to self-respectKey Quote“Shame isn't proof that you're broken.

Roberto's story is one of true transformation. After hitting rock bottom, he rebuilt his income, redefined his purpose, and created a business where he gets paid to be fully himself. His new book, "The Willingness Factor," breaks down how saying yes to discomfort, opportunity, and growth can completely change the trajectory of your life.

Roberto shares how shifting his mindset around failure and discomfort allowed him to unlock new levels of confidence, clarity, and flow. We also dive into the science and psychology of flow state, that sweet spot where your skills and challenges align perfectly, allowing you to perform at your highest level. From dealing with imposter syndrome to finding peace in the process, Roberto's insights will challenge you to step fully into your own growth journey.

Great morning, world—welcome back to Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick, where confusion dies and progress thrives. Today, I'm joined by someone who has changed the way thousands of people think about motivation, achievement, and the stories we tell ourselves about success—Nic Voge. Nic is a Senior Lecturer at Princeton University and one of the foremost voices on Self-Worth Theory, a framework first developed by Dr. Martin Covington. His work brings this theory to life, helping students, professionals, and leaders understand how the drive to protect our self-worth often hides beneath patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. You may know Nic from his viral TED Talk, where he reveals why high achievers often struggle the most—and how true confidence comes not from doing more, but from redefining where our sense of worth comes from. This isn't just a conversation about productivity—it's about identity.It's about how we relate to failure, success, and the quiet belief that we are—or aren't—enough. So take a deep breath.Because today, we're going to make sense of the stories that shape our self-worth—with Nic Voge.

What can slicing a watermelon teach us about design? Turns out… quite a lot. This week, I chat with Vitaly Friedman, founder of Smashing Magazine, to explore curiosity, inefficiency, and why the best designers obsess over process, not perfection.What if your next design breakthrough came not from a book or a course, but from learning to slice a watermelon?Vitaly Friedman has spent decades shaping how designers think about the web. But in this conversation, we go beyond pixels and patterns to talk about something much more profound: how curiosity itself becomes a design tool. From choosing the perfect watermelon to mastering the art of ironing, Vitaly reveals how everyday obsessions can teach us how to think, learn, and design better.We explore how designers can reclaim joy and curiosity in their work, especially in environments where efficiency and productivity often come at the expense of creativity. Vitaly's take? It's not about finding the perfect way to do something—it's about exploring many ways and discovering meaning in the process.From grilled watermelons to enterprise UX, we connect the dots between experimentation, self-learning, and the messy human side of design.If you've ever felt stuck chasing “best practices” or trying to find the “right” answer, this episode will remind you that sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do is play.Topics:• 03:39 – The Watermelon Metaphor• 05:37 – Choosing the Perfect Watermelon• 09:19 – Cutting Techniques and Presentation• 13:34 – Grilling Watermelon and Culinary Creativity• 14:28 – Learning and Self-Education• 15:13 – The Journey of Exploration• 18:28 – Imposter Syndrome and Asking for Help• 22:00 – Humanizing Executives and Stakeholders• 22:48 – The Importance of Curiosity• 25:34 – Ironing and Finding Zen• 30:01 – The Role of Enjoyment in Learning• 31:35 – Procrastination and Productivity• 33:46 – Procrastination and Focus• 34:48 – Memorable Conference Experience• 37:08 – Finding Joy in Enterprise UX Design• 38:50 – Challenges in Enterprise Projects• 41:35 – Building Trust and Team Culture• 50:50 – Balancing Exploration and DeliveryHelpful Links:• Connect with Vitaly on LinkedIn• Smashing Magazine• Design Patterns For AI Interfaces—Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Dex unpacks how early conditioning shapes what we see as “truth,” and how those truths quietly drive our adult stress, dissatisfaction, and burnout. You'll hear how our sense of being “not good enough” often began as a misguided attempt to stay loved and safe—and how that same belief now keeps us disconnected from joy and ease.Dex shares a personal story about a moment of beauty that felt strangely unsatisfying—and how that revealed a buried old belief still running the show. He explores how to unlearn those inherited “truths,” and why the road back to peace and performance begins with something very simple: unconditional self-approval.You'll Learn:Why there's no absolute truth—only perception.How early experiences form the foundation of “who we think we are.”The hidden link between self-judgment and burnout.Why self-love isn't indulgent—it's essential.A simple practice for feeling good enough right now.Quote from the Episode:“Not good enough was never the truth—about me, or about you.”Resources Mentioned:Joy on Demand by Chade-Meng TanIf You're Struggling:If you feel stuck in stress, isolation, or the quiet shame of not being enough—come talk to Dex.

"I had no idea. I didn't know what an HSA was, all the acronyms—HRA, HSA, HDHP, ERISA. I really had to learn all of that." When Tammy Sun pitched her fertility startup a decade ago, the category she was building didn't exist. Investors dismissed it as a lifestyle business, a niche play unworthy of venture capital. After 99 rejections, she raised her first million. Today, Carrot Fertility operates in 170 countries, serving millions in a market that didn't even have a name when she started. This conversation arrives at an inflection point. Women over 40 represent the only demographic having more babies, while one in six couples confronts infertility—a number experts believe vastly undercounts reality since you're only counted if you can afford to seek care. Sun saw these contradictions not as obstacles but as opportunities. Without a male co-founder, without prior startup experience, without even knowing basic healthcare acronyms, she built one of the most valuable fertility companies in the world. Her secret wasn't expertise. It was embracing what she didn't know. "Having a beginner's mind and coming in with curiosity and excitement and imagination around the art of what is possible—I can't think of an area of the world that needs it more now than healthcare", Sun explains. From that first million that was "the hardest million dollars I ever raised" to expanding beyond fertility into what she calls "post reproductive fertility care" with their menopause product—which became their fastest growing product ever—Sun has earned the right to her radical advice about imposter syndrome: "You can totally ignore it. You can pretend like it doesn't exist, and you can just act the way that you feel like you should act." In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, discover how a non-professional founder transformed a personal fertility crisis into a global healthcare platform. From recognizing that "half of all infertility is related to male factor" to launching Sprints at the nexus of metabolic and fertility care, Sun reveals why the future of women's health isn't about incremental improvements to a broken system. It's about having the audacity to imagine something entirely new. For Tammy Sun, building in the space between naivete and expertise isn't a disadvantage. It's the only way to create categories that don't yet exist. In a world where knowing too much can blind you to what's possible, she's proof that sometimes the best qualification for changing healthcare is not knowing why it can't be changed. Key Insights: Why the fastest-growing fertility demographic reveals everything about modern family planning How embracing ignorance became a competitive advantage in healthcare innovation The hidden truth about male factor infertility that affects half of all cases Why imposter syndrome is a luxury founders can't afford How moving from California to Arkansas changed everything What GLP-1s mean for the future of fertility and healthcare About the Guest: Tammy Sun is the Founder and CEO of Carrot Fertility, now operating in almost 170 countries after starting with 12. Without prior founder experience or healthcare expertise, she transformed a personal fertility journey into a category-defining company. She built Carrot into one of the most valuable fertility platforms globally, expanding from fertility into menopause and metabolic fertility care.
