Do you ever worry they will figure out you actually have no idea what you are doing? Studies show that imposter syndrome, the feeling of being a fraud despite evidence of success, affects everyone. It reared its ugly (and soul-sucking) head in my life this week during one of the busiest times of my career, maybe ever. And so here's what I did: I sat down and wrote a podcast that we could all hopefully learn from. This week's episode— The 5 C's of Inner Strength:

• Confide in someone
• Cultivate consistent practice
• Offer Compassion to others and yourself
• Consider the "spotlight effect"
• Craft your worthiness words.

My hope for us is that we'll remember our value and embrace the joy and hope in the creative journey. Links: Merideth's book: The Artist's Joy Artists for Joy IG Become a Patreon Supporter Join our Enneagram Workshop on June 10th The Artist's Joy Printable Journal
