Quick Talk on Eating Orders | By Richa Jha & Stavi Sakarellou

Eating disorders are behavioral conditions characterized by severe and persistent disturbance in eating behaviors and associated distressing thoughts and emotions. They are a group of conditions marked by an unhealthy relationship with food. No one knows the precise cause of eating disorders. But, they seem to coexist with psychological and medical issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trouble coping with emotions, and substance abuse. They also have a high mortality rate of any mental disorder. There is a commonly held misconception that eating disorders are a lifestyle choice. Eating disorders are actually serious and often fatal illnesses that are associated with severe disturbances in people’s eating behaviors and related thoughts and emotions. It’s common for people with eating disorders to hide their unhealthy behaviors, so it can be challenging to recognize the signs of an eating disorder, especially early on.

Imposter Syndrome | Talk by Chaitali Sharma & Richa Jha

Impostor syndrome (IS) refers to an internal feeling of believing that you are not as competent as others perceive you to be. ‘Imposters’ suffer from chronic self-doubt and a sense of intellectual fraudulence that overrides any feelings of success. To put it simply, you feel as though at any moment you are going to be found out as a fraud, like you don't belong where you are, you don’t deserve the success you have achieved, and as though you only got there through dumb luck. The more you accomplish, the more you just feel like a fraud. Podcast Speaker - Richa Jha & Chaitali Sharma Quotes “Imposter syndrome is like any emotion. It’s really good data, but it’s not an eternal fact.” “At a certain point in the life cycle of the ego, we will feel that we don’t deserve anything.” “When we suppress the little pains because we are tough and we are thick-skinned, we lose our hearts and we let our egos run the show.” “As soon as there is a pressure of performing like somebody else, we naturally become imposters.” "We need to keep in mind that nothing actually belongs to us"
