About this episode

Have you ever wondered if you’re “bi enough”? Bi imposter syndrome — also called queer imposter syndrome — is that feeling of doubt or fraudulence that can creep in when stereotypes, biphobia and heteronormativity weigh heavily on our sense of self. In this episode of Big Bi+ Questions, we’re joined by Ashley, a registered counsellor specialising in LGBTQIA+ wellbeing , who brings both personal insight and professional experience to the discussion. Together we explore why imposter syndrome shows up in bi+ lives, how it can undermine our relationships and mental health, and the small but powerful steps we can take to challenge it. Ashley shares practical tools for spotting the signs, building community, and replacing doubt with pride and belonging. Repeat along with us: “I am enough. I am valid. I belong.” Connect with Ashley on Instagram at @twogaycounsellors and @thegothcounsellor .
