'I'm a Fraud': Why Do Talented People Constantly Doubt Themselves? | Ksenia Chilingarova

In the new episode of “Kovalev listens,” Anya Kovaleva talks with Ksenia Chilingarova—media manager and publisher of the international magazine Badlon, co-founder of Arctic Explorer, fashion collector, and poet, a person who can combine several different roles in a single biography. We discuss perfectionism, the impostor syndrome, and the feeling of life “on the edge of being exposed”—especially when you grow up in a family with a loud surname. Also in the episode: a story about dances that began with a “right” pair of shoes; a conversation about poetry; about freedom; and why the phrase “it’s never too late” is not just an inspiring slogan, but a working life strategy.

Topics of the episode include:
— fashion as art and a language of communication;
— how to produce and curate a big magazine while preserving your resources and not burning out;
— dancing as discipline, aesthetics, and a way of inner work;
— the pseudonym K. Bondyereva and the freedom to be different;
— long-distance relationships, Italy, and joy as a skill.
