Imposter Syndrome — What Has Changed for Us
We’re no strangers to imposter syndrome, and after years of experience in our respective fields battling feelings of self-doubt, we moved past it. Let’s talk about it.

It’s true, we had imposter syndrome early in our careers. At the time it felt like we needed to guard our lack of knowledge and self-doubting thoughts, but in truth everyone feels that way, especially when starting a new job.

But, it gets better. One day, we realized that imposter feeling went away. Though there are days when up feels like down, it’s become easier to accept what we don’t know.

Join us as we discuss how to weather imposter syndrome and emerge on the other side with confidence.

It’s the holidays, and we say let’s keep things simple. The Paper Plane cocktail, with all ingredients equal parts, does not sacrifice taste for easiness. Your guests don’t even need to know the exact recipe. Tell them you made it up yourself, it’s your party. They’ll be too distracted by the ballet of sweetness, tart, and bitterness on their palate, anyways.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces Amaro Nonino
  • 1 1/2 ounces Aperol
  • 1 1/2 ounces bourbon
  • 1 1/2 ounces fresh lemon juice, strained

Preparation

  1. Combine Amaro, Aperol, bourbon, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker.
  2. Fill with ice and shake vigorously until outside of shaker is frosty, about 20 seconds.
  3. Strain into 2 coupe glasses.
