Naomi Osaka is a four-time Grand Slam champion, was named the Associated Press Athlete of the Year in 2020, and is the very first Asian woman to be ranked Number One in the world. She’s one of the most decorated athletes of her generation, and yet she recently acknowledged that she suffers from Impostor Syndrome.

How is it that a person as successful as Osaka, who has been quite literally ranked No. 1 in the world in her chosen field, feels like a fraud? In our first episode, we dive into this question, and so much more, exploring the depths of Impostor Syndrome — what it is, where it comes from, and who is most prone to it.
