S3E20 - Imposter Syndrome in Overlanding (Feeling Unworthy, Comparing Your Trips/Mods to Others)

The All Things Overlanding Podcast

On this week's episode, I'm talking about how I've recently been feeling a bit like an imposter when talking about Overlanding or vehicle modifications. I wanted to talk about this because I think we've all felt this way at one point or another.

When you post up on a social media network, excited about a new piece of gear or modification you've made to your vehicle, only to be shot down by a ton of negative feedback, it can make you question whether what you did was the right choice.

However, most of the time when we feel like this, it's inaccurate and it's just crappy people on the internet sniping at people from behind their keyboards. So, I wanted to talk about what made me feel this way and hopefully help anyone who's newer or has been feeling the wrath of other people's negativity.

As always, I'd love to hear from you guys in the comments! Join the conversation and let me know about times you've experienced this kind of stuff or ways you've overcome it. I'd love to hear from you!
