It's time for us to shake the idea of "Imposter Syndrome". In this episode, Nayamka unpacks the idea that women of color have any reason at all to every have imposter syndrome. The idea of "Imposter Syndrome" has been defined as "a psychological experience where someone feels like a fraud, despite evidence of their success." Hopefully, by the end of this episode, you'll find the idea that you don't deserve every ounce of goodness in our life as laughable.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)—from navigating its impact on my body and mind as a teenager to learning how to manage it in adulthood. This is an honest look at the ups and downs of living with PCOS, including the stress it brings, what I’ve learned from my doctors, and the role of medication like Ozempic in my treatment.

PCOS is different for everyone, but talking about it openly helps normalize the struggles and the wins. If you’re dealing with PCOS or know someone who is, I hope this video resonates and reminds you that you’re not alone.

💡 What I Cover:

• How PCOS affected my adolescence and shaped my wellness journey.

• The stress and emotional challenges of living with PCOS.

• What I’ve learned from my doctors and the medications I’ve tried.

• Managing symptoms like hormonal acne, weight fluctuations, and more.

• Workouts and lifestyle habits that have actually been useful for me.
