Hey -
I was told I got a little too political yesterday. Fair.
So today should be easier to handle: Chicago hot dogs.
Your résumé should be like your Chicago hot dog order: Dragged through the garden. Sport peppers. Celery salt. Poppy seed bun. Neon relish.
No ketchup in sight.
Because ketchup on a Chicago dog is an imposter hot dog. It looks like it belongs. It tries to blend in. But it ruins the whole experience. (Fight me!!!!)
And that’s exactly what imposter syndrome does in your career story.
It sneaks into your résumé, LinkedIn, interviews, and salary conversations like:
“Let’s soften that.”
“Don’t say it like that.”
“Tone it down.”
“You don’t want to sound too confident.”
“Maybe don’t lead with the big win.”
And suddenly… there’s ketchup all over your results.
Imposter syndrome isn’t you being unqualified. It’s the gap between how you feel about yourself and what’s actually true: your experience, your impact, your receipts.
So today, we’re leaving the ketchup for your side of fries, not your main meal.

Imposter Syndrome Is Lying to You: How Highly Qualified Women Own Their Expertise
Thurs, Feb 12 @ 11am CT
Length: 45–60 minutes
Anonymous Q&A: YES. Because some thoughts do not need your name attached.
This is not about “being more confident.” This is about reconciling perception with reality, and stopping a knockoff voice from narrating your career like it’s the headliner.
