The human mind's ability to convince itself of things that are not true is just phenomenal. Here I was with a mountain of activity and moving into a job that I'd literally just spent a year doing in all but title and thinking I was a phony was lunacy, but in the moment it made sense.
The only time you should feel like an impostor, phony, or fraud is if you intentionally misrepresent yourself in an interview or other type of evaluation. That's it. Everything else is just a part of the journey we're all on together.
