Ever heard the words “Who am I to do this?” rattling around in your head, even when you’re crushing it?

Yep, us too.

In this episode of Antarctica Did That For Me, we (your hosts, Keri Nelson and Cassa Grant) dive headfirst into imposter syndrome—because if there’s one thing that doesn’t get left behind when you go to Antarctica, it’s self-doubt!

Adventurers and Antarcticans also have those “I’m not good enough” moments… often in spades.

We talk about our own experiences with imposter syndrome, especially when it comes to taking big leaps and daring adventures.

Whether you’re scaling a glacier or just trying to scale the corporate ladder, that nagging voice in your head asking, “Who am I to do this?” can be crippling.

And it’s not just all in your head; there are institutional roadblocks and systemic factors that can make that self-doubt feel even heavier.

But guess what? You’re not alone.

We’ll explore how imposter syndrome shows up differently for everyone—sometimes it’s a whisper, sometimes it’s a roar.

But here’s the good news: we’ve got the tools to fight back.

This episode is packed with practical insights on how to kick imposter syndrome to the curb. So, if you’ve ever wondered, “Who do I think I am?”—this episode is your antidote.

If you had to go 4 months without your favorite foods, how would you cope? What about 6 months? A year?

When it's cold and you're lonely and far away from home, comfort food's important, and that's especially true for Antarcticans.

Join us (your hosts, Keri and Cassa) as we share favorite food memories from Antarctica, and talk about the importance of food on the Seventh Continent.

We'll talk about the challenges of living without fresh ingredients, the fierce food hoarding that can show up, and some of the more bizarre foods people have packed and taken to Antarctica to savor through their time there.

And we'll shout out the many talented chefs who have tried to keep Antarcticans' stomachs (and morale!) happy over the years.

How do you define yourself? Is it through things like: where you live, your job, your family? Is it with places you've been or people you know?

This is what this episode of Antarctica Did That For Me is all about- how we create identities for ourselves.

When people call themselves Antarctican, what do they really mean? What identity characteristics define Antarcticans?

Antarctica is not only a physical continent, but also a community and society with a distinctive culture.

In this conversation, we (your hosts, Keri and Cassa) discuss the term Antarctican, and what we learned during our time on The Ice, as well as how that's affected us when we're not in Antarctica.

We discuss resiliency, creativity, individualism, and openness to new experiences, along with talking about the ways Antarcticans develop community and deal with challenging situations.

Join us for a lively discussion about a community that embraces adventure and confronts itself while experiencing a unique and embracing adventure.
