I LOVE this post, Jenn! Whenever I start thinking about imposter-y things, I am reminded of Cheri Huber's incredible book, <There Is Nothing Wrong With You>, where she takes a close look at the impulse to make ourselves the problems so there's always something to work on and hence the ego is always being centered. Even when we recognize the systemic undercurrents that lead to imposter-y feelings, it's extremely hard (maybe impossible) to avoid personalizing this as a me-problem. Thanks for reminding us that that's a nice way to keep us all spinning in our own minds and not fixing the systems that got us here.
