S1 E4 - Feeling Feelings About Imposter Syndrome

The best thing about this episode is that Jessica comes prepared with quotes and research, including the actual definition and backstory of Imposter Syndrome. Like, A+ for Jessica. (Jamie was useless in the research department, but had lots of feelings to share, so it evened out? Maybe? F for Jamie, but that's okay.) Lots of feelings about Imposter Syndrome are shared, but also feelings on receiving criticism/feedback as an artist, dealing with self-doubt, and how much of what we believe about ourselves comes from people trying to sell us shit we don't need. We kind of go IN on advertising and media. F-bombs are dropped. Not censored. Don't listen to this episode in the car with your children. Or any of our episodes for that matter. We are not responsible for your children's delicate sensibilities around the word FUCK. ;) Jamie goes off on doubt, as she's prone to do because she is prone to crippling self-doubt. GREAT. Jessica discusses how she wanted a client to love her work, but instead they had feedback. Uh oh. We talk representation and how if you don't see yourself in a room, you feel you don't belong. Gabi Fresh—QUEEN—is mentioned. (Gabi, if you're listening, please be our friend?) Body politics are discussed. Tattoos are discussed. We zigzagged a bit with this episode, but it all connected. Promise!
