I have a hard time articulating and communicating ideas to my team. On top of that, English is not my first language. I’m 27 but sometimes I feel like a jr. How can I empower myself and beat the impostor syndrome ? Do you honestly think that being a woman I have to work twice harder for it?

Impostor syndrome is a normal thing that we all go through, yet we cannot let it take hold of us.

I understand your situation as English is not my first language either; but as we improve and start thinking in English, we need to work more on that. Do you have a presentation? A meeting? Practice what you are going to speak beforehand; that way you can be more confident.

As for being a woman; in the UX sector I don't think that's the case. In the companies I've worked in there are more female UX Designers than male, I don't know if it's like that all over the world; I'm in Spain.

Be strong and trust in your skills, you got here on your own merits.

Something that severely gets into my nerves:

I'm pissed. They're basically wasting my time and I don't even see the point in meeting with them.
Advice?
