On the path to finding our superpowers, we’re usually our own greatest obstacle. 

Imposter syndrome, that nagging voice inside our head that says we’re not good enough, holds too many of us back. 

When you’re overcome with anxieties that you don’t fit in, aren’t up to the job, or can’t live up to expectations, it’s impossible to do your best work.

In this episode of Say it Online, I chat with Anansi Content Strategist Michaela Kemp about how she’s overcome imposter syndrome and learned to stop fearing failure. 

 

Michaela is a queer Canadian writer with a passion for all things pop culture. She has a Bachelor of Arts focusing on creative writing and gender studies, as well as a certification in Holistic nutrition. She found her way to the copywriting world after a life-changing gender theory class. Once you see how marketing has shaped the way you construct your world, you work to be a better marketer.

Away from writing, Michaela spends her time wandering the forests of Canada’s most Western edge, working with a local hospice as a grief and end-of-life volunteer, and making sure her cat is spoiled. 

In this episode, Michaela dives into identifying impostering syndrome and how to overcome it. We chat about how Michaela learned to stop being afraid of failure and start focusing on positive learning opportunities.
