Hey Siri, does imposter syndrome affect your ability to celebrate the small wins?
“Yes, imposter syndrome can lead to a pervasive sense of self-doubt, making it difficult to acknowledge and appreciate progress. Instead of recognizing achievements, individuals with imposter syndrome may attribute them to luck or downplay their own contributions.”
So here I am, a year and a half later and finally letting it sink in that I had four photos published in
@slushthemagazine and I am damn proud of it.
I said it back in 2021 after
@brainbowlsessions but
@69max420 and the rest of Tre Squad aren’t just preaching inclusiveness, they’re practicing it. It’s been absolutely incredible to witness their growth, especially since teaming up with
@mtbakerseshup . It’s pure magic to be surrounded by 500 or so like minded individuals in the name of snowboarding. With no lift ticket, no entry fee, and no real barrier to entry, Brain Bowl is for the people, by the people and one of the purest examples of snowboard community out there.
“Watching Brain Bowl grow and evolve, and seeing the level of gratitude and hype that participants have shown for free and all-inclusive events like this makes me optimistic about the future. Through sessions where you’re spending so much time hiking and building and actually hanging out with people, you can strengthen relationships on a more meaningful level. Maybe someone up there brings a camera and gets a sick shot of you, or teaches you a new trick, or lets you borrow their gear if you don’t have any, then all of a sudden you feel like you’re a part of a community. Those are the moments that deepen the experience. That can be the difference between someone becoming a lifer rather than a hobbyist, and snow sports need more lifers.” -
