Ever feel like you’ve somehow “faked” your way into the room… and it’s only a matter of time before everyone finds out? You’re not alone and more importantly, you’re not actually an imposter.

We’re diving deep into the truth behind imposter syndrome : what it really is, why it shows up right when you’re stepping into something bigger, and how to move through it without pretending to be someone you’re not.

We look at the psychology behind that “I don’t belong here” feeling, from identity lag to the spotlight effect, and reveal why your brain is wired to doubt your success, even when the evidence says otherwise. You’ll learn why high achievers feel this the most, how your environment can outgrow your self-image, and why discomfort is often a sign of expansion, not inadequacy.

Most importantly, this episode gives you practical, grounded tools to quiet the noise: how to separate feelings from facts, stop minimising your wins, regulate your body in moments of doubt, and finally own the space you’ve earned.

This episode will completely reframe how you see yourself.

Because imposter syndrome isn’t a sign you’re failing… it’s a sign you’re rising.

The average office worker can now focus for just 43 seconds on a single task.
Bestselling author Johann Hari joins Roxie to explain why our ability to concentrate is collapsing...and how technology, diet, modern work culture, and social media algorithms are quietly rewiring our brains.

But attention is only part of the story.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the rising epidemics of loneliness, anxiety, addiction and burnout, the surprising science behind addiction and connection, and why so many people feel disconnected in a hyper-connected world. Johann also shares insights from his research into weight-loss drugs, what they reveal about cravings and compulsive behaviours, and what they might teach us about addiction more broadly.

Through powerful stories and research from around the world, Johann challenges the way we think about mental health, arguing that healing often begins not with medication alone, but with rebuilding connection, purpose, and community.

If you’ve ever struggled to focus, felt overwhelmed by modern life, or wondered why so many people feel lost today, this conversation will change how you see your mind.

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse, addiction, and trauma, which some listeners may find distressing.

Before this trip, I wasn’t okay.

My chest felt tight. I wasn’t sleeping. My shoulders were spasming. The bills were piling up And no matter how much I tried to “think positively”, nothing was shifting.

Then I realised something uncomfortable : You cannot build, attract or manifest from a body that feels unsafe.

After spending several days in Singapore, a city intentionally designed as a “City in Nature”, I experienced firsthand how environment impacts physiology. From tai chi in the Singapore Botanic Gardens to a sunrise sound meditation at Marina Bay Sands, to standing beneath the an indoor waterfall at Gardens by the Bay, my baseline shifted.

Regulation is SO important.
And if you want to create powerfully, you must first feel safe enough to expand.
