Impostor Syndrome and Overnight Success
Here’s how Cooper described her experience in an interview with The Daily Beast:
Each video I made got millions of views… then my life did start to change.
I started getting attention from all kinds of journalists and celebrities and people I’d always admired. Ben Stiller was commenting on my videos.
Cher retweeted me.
Halle Berry called me “iconic.”
I went from 60,000 Twitter followers to two million.
I was on Ellen.
I had an interview with Lawrence O’Donnell. And Nicolle Wallace.
Jimmy Fallon had me on The Tonight Show.
Kamala Harris wanted to do an Instagram Live with me.
And suddenly, very suddenly, like so fast it’ll make your head spin, and my head was spinning, I was pretty much handed the keys to Hollywood.
I signed with WME and started auditioning for high-profile projects.
I got offered a series regular role on a sitcom.
We sold a pilot for 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings to Netflix and I’d be working with Ricky Gervais. Ricky Gervais.
We sold another pilot for How to Be Successful Without Hurting Men’s Feelings to CBS with Nina Tassler and Cindy Chupack.
My manager texted me and said they want me to guest-host Kimmel. HOST. KIMMEL.

Many people talk about their dreams.
Angela Dash, PhD acts on them.
Angela is an executive and professional coach with 23 years of leadership experience.
It’s why in 2022 we tapped Angela to co-design and lead our initial coach training program. (If you want to be notified when the self-paced version of the redesigned Impostor Syndrome Informed Coach training is available, click here.)
In addition to being a coach, Angela is also a group facilitator, trainer, and organizational ombuds, as well as adjunct faculty at New York University in the Department of Human Capital Management.
And we’re proud to say Angela is also a Licensed Associate of Impostor Syndrome Institute.
That makes her one of 32 people around the world trained and licensed to deliver Dr. Valerie Young’s Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™ program.
Most recently, though, Angela realized a long-held dream of opening her own retreat and training center near her home in Atlanta.
If you’re looking for a wonderfully Zen space to offer workshops, retreats, or meetings just outside of Atlanta, check it out.
