Have you ever felt like people overestimate you? Do you ever feel that all your success was due to chance or luck? Do you doubt that you are qualified for the position you hold? And everything you have achieved is more than you deserve in life? And that people will one day discover that you are less competent and talented than you appear? These feelings have a name and a title, and they are not unique and rarely present feelings, but rather a widespread psychological pattern among a large group of people and women in particular, in which a person feels doubt about himself and his achievements and has a constant fear of being exposed and considered a fraud. In this episode, we discuss imposter syndrome in more depth, its symptoms, causes, the most famous people who suffer from it, and how do we deal with it? A great team worked on this episode: Lubna Al-Khamis, Abdullah Al-Balawi, Faisal Khurami, Hisham Al-Adini, and it was produced by Pixel House.

Nostalgia
Between the smell of rain, the sound of the dawn prayer, and an old song that passes by chance, nostalgia takes us without asking to places, people, and old versions of ourselves. In this poetic episode of Abjoura, we delve into nostalgia as a human emotion and understand its psychological and cultural roots, and how it transformed from a “syndrome” into a universal feeling that touches everyone. From childhood and memory, to music, cities, and travel, all the way to the journey of nostalgia and returning to places that shaped us, not to live in the past, but to reconcile with it, and understand ourselves more... An episode about longing for what has passed, gratitude for what was, and longing for what is gone forever. | A great team worked on this episode: Lubna Al-Khamis, Dania Musa, Abdullah Al-Balawi, Faisal Kharmi, Hisham Al-Adini, and produced by Bicycle House.
