I've searched for a no nonsense cure for imposter syndrome for ages, and now I've found it! You're fabulous, and you made me believe I am fabulous too! Now to get that thesis written...
Tara the true star! Great winning advice to be calm, confident, and centered...How appropriately thinking positive thoughts can be a great way to implement a doctoral study. Thank you Dr. Tara!
Thank you so much for your inspiration. This is my last year of PhD and I am approaching my final seminar soon. I was a worry, nervous and do not believe in my self, but after listening to your talk, now I feel more confident about my self and my work. Thanks, Tara
Stumbled upon this from another vlog on imposter syndrome. Just wanted to say a huge thank you. I was feeling low, like I didn't deserve the scholarship, that I'm a late returner to education. I needed this video! I'm about to leap into thesis draft 5 & it will be fabulous! Also, fellow sci-fi fan & Doctor Who is, of course, fabulous :-)
I know this is an older video, but I wanted to say thank you for this. I struggle with imposter syndrome and I have been thinking about going into a PhD program so this was so perfect to hear. I subscribed to this channel and can’t wait to learn more :D
Tara, such a timely find, your vlog is rockin' my world. Love the way you reference popular culture and draw on songs, such as The Gambler 'normalising' the processes of the PhD journey;)
The Gambler lyrics often come to me in my hour of need - I don't need to play it, I just hear and see Kenny in my head (sometimes more than 15 times over). Hadn't connected that piece of wisdom with my thesis so I will muse on it , though there are times I might be tempted to fold em and run!! Thanks Tara, I have a new definition for humility which is awesome and gives me permission to be fabulous, I will put it up on my pin board right now :) (Heather)
+Heza Baaton So great to hear from you gorgeous :) You are the best. And yes - if we remember the importance of kindness and sharing - knowledge takes on a whole new form and perspective. And you and I can sing The Gambler together. You have a deal... ;) Txxx
I think one big problem is the lack of time professors have to even answer emails. This gives me the feeling of not being important enough to earn their attention. I feel I have to apologise for interupting their work.
Love your channel. I have been struggling with few of the issues you have discussed in your videos. But now I know better. Thank you! "I am fabulous"!!! :D
Thank you Tara, Professor Tara are fabulous. I wish I would have known your vlog earlier in my journey but nothing is too late. It is encouraging. This re-motivates my journey. Thanks Tara.
Yes, I am fabulous , You too too too fabulous... You are a Lovely, Lively, Angelic Soul... You are a great TEACHER ... With Loads of Love n Regards from 26.1445° N, 91.7362° E of the Globe :)
We are not imposter. But we are the transformer, the conduit of knowledge. We are not the thesis. We are not the mental abstractions of what the professors/other people said about us. We separate ourselves from these opinions. We are who we are. Being.
And could I block my supervisor? I really try to talk with him regularly but because of my experiences as rare as possible. But I am fabulous - that's right. And you must be a fabulous supervisor!
What would we do without you...thank you, Tara! You are fabulous!
Prof Tara, you are a piece of art! Greetings from South Africa
Current masters student . I needed this! Thank you.

I can’t thank you enough for this.. the last sentence made me emotional I needed to hear it even if it’s not physically directed to me.

Thank you for this vlog and all the extraordinary advice you share here with the World. This is the stuff magic is made of.
"I am much more interested in the expertise of the supervisor, rather than the experience of the supervisor." This reminds me of deliberate practice.
Love your channel. I have been struggling with few of the issues you have discussed in your videos. But now I know better. Thank you!
"I am fabulous"!!! :D
Thank you Tara, Professor Tara are fabulous. I wish I would have known your vlog earlier in my journey but nothing is too late. It is encouraging. This re-motivates my journey. Thanks Tara.
