This episode of How To Twenty-Something talks about the complex world of imposter syndrome—how it shows up in our careers, relationships, and daily lives, especially in our twenties. Imposter syndrome, the persistent doubt in our abilities and the fear of being exposed as a “fraud,” is so common during this period because of all the new transitions and challenges we face. In the episode I shared how this can lead to underestimating our accomplishments, comparing ourselves to others, and even avoiding new opportunities. To combat it, I suggest building confidence with wins folders, embracing support networks, and pursuing your own path without constant comparison.  Key Takeaways: * Your self-confidence is directly related to the severity of your imposter syndrome * Every new experience let’s imposter syndrome creep in * Create a wins folder so you have something concrete to refer back to * Relationship imposter syndrome is based on your own self-worth * Comparing yourself to other people will invite imposter syndrome into your head Helpful Resources:  Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success [https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success]  Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.com [coach.jessdiamond@gmail.com] Asses your adulting skills: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/assess/ [https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/assess/]  Contribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9 [https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9]  Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5 [https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5]  Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic [https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic]  Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com [https://www.free-stock-music.com] Creative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US]

This episode of How To Twenty-Something encompasses the root causes of burnout and its impact on different aspects of life—whether it’s careers, relationships, health, or the pressures of life in your twenties. I explain that burnout often stems from poor time management, lack of boundaries, and insufficient planning, all of which can be overwhelming when juggling new responsibilities. I offer actionable tips on how to avoid burnout, including recognizing your limits, prioritizing recovery time, and integrating self-care activities to ensure you can manage life's demands without losing your energy or motivation. Key Takeaways: * Recognize the Signs of Burnout Early: Pay attention to emotional exhaustion, feeling unmotivated, and physical fatigue as key indicators that burnout is approaching. * Set Boundaries: Learn to say "no"  * Slow down: Your intense fitness class is not helping you cope with your stressful life * Understand Your Personal Limits: Knowing when to step back and recharge is essential * Ask for help: From your coworkers, mentors, friends, family. Build your system of support and use them!
