Have you found yourself privately saying, “I don’t get it, I don’t have imposter syndrome, and can’t relate to people who say they have.” Our next guest, Sheila Buswell, can in fact relate to you if you’re a human who connects with that statement. At least she could, until she couldn’t… Once the CEO and Co-Founder of Buswell Biomedical, and veteran of the US Army, got perspective on where the feeling of “not enough” showed up in a specific area of her purview, everything changed. Today, Sheila’s an author, sharing her personal experiences with imposter syndrome alongside a diverse group of other accomplished humans who struggled with self-doubt in her book, Is This Seat For Me? Overcoming Imposter Syndrome in Everyday Life and Business. In this episode, we dive deeper into how you can be dope and still doubt in a way that can make you play small when you’re here for big impact.

More about Sheila Buswell
After losing her scholarship to college, Sheila enrolled in the US Army where she cross trained as a Generator Mechanic. After receiving a medical discharge in 2001, Sheila transitioned back into civilian life. Committed to not ending up in a minimum wage job flipping burgers, Sheila enrolled in the Missouri University of Science and Technology so she could build a career as an engineer.
For years, Sheila both had success in her career and also endured a tremendous amount of sexism. She left her job in 2019 to found Buswell Biomedical, a company based off the device she invented which is controlled by Machine Learning.

Last week was about the art of professional breakups and this week we are diving into the signs and solutions for personal relationships that have come to their end. Understanding the theory of reciprocity in relationships is simple but applying that awareness in real time is far from easy when you justify the imbalance because of the amount of time you’ve known someone. If you’ve ever experienced consistent passive-aggressive behavior in a relationship with your BFF or other deemed close relationships, you’ll want to pull up a chair and tune in with full focus.
Time Stamps:
00:00 Spotting and dealing with uneven, mentally taxing relationships.
06:55 Know your position and adjust to the situation.
08:38 How to read a room and communicate effectively.
11:43 Why it’s important to normalize paying friends for their work.
17:17 Manage your stress before you take a break so you can refuel fully.
20:42 Dealing with passive aggressive and condescending critiques.
22:41 Being clear about boundaries and expressing frustrations firmly.
25:35 Share with those you know can benefit.
