What is Imposter Syndrome?

Kayla Lords

Kayla Lords is a freelance sex writer, podcaster, blogger, all-around sex content creating human, and she really likes creating content. As a writer, she focuses on sex and kink primarily on BDSM and power exchange. She works with private clients to write their content and manage their social media, while also co-hosting two podcasts, running a YouTube channel, and managing multiple blogs. Let's just say, she stays busy and wants to keep it that way. Kayla is an international speaker and an award-winning sex blogger. She believes we are stronger together as a community than we are isolated and apart. We all deserve to get paid for the work we do, but until we understand our cumulative power, we'll all wonder if we're "the only one" doing this smutlancing thing.

    I love that you gave it a name. I suffer anxiety and since I began blogging only a few months ago I’ve definitely experienced my share of imposter syndrome. Sometimes you have to just fight through it and write that post, otherwise, if you let it win you could end up quitting something you would otherwise enjoy. That’s why most of us write, because we love it. Now the trick is to learn to overcome imposter syndrome and anxiety which I’m sure would affect most of us at times. Thank-you for another thoughtful, thought provoking post.

      Everything I’ve read about imposter syndrome is that it’s really hard to overcome BUT it becomes easier to ignore all the time. And one thing I read (I wish I remembered where) said it was an indication you were trying bigger and better things because you’re out of your comfort zone – which can be a wonderful place to be.
