What does it actually feel like to run a growing online community — and constantly wonder if you’re even qualified to lead it?

In this episode of Ctrl + Alt + Sass, host Sass gets candid about imposter syndrome, burnout, and the emotional highs and lows of managing a fast-growing RedM roleplay server.

As the sole owner of The Tackroom — a Red Dead Online RP server built around horses, heart, and high expectations — Sass shares honest stories from behind the screen: late-night bug fixes, tough moderation calls, near-burnout breakdowns, and the beautiful, unexpected moments that keep it all going.

We talk about:

• What imposter syndrome actually feels like in leadership
• The mental load of “being the one in charge”
• Moments that nearly made us quit — and what helped us stay
• Staying grounded while holding digital space for others
• Support systems (and memes) that make it all survivable

Whether you’re running a game server, building a brand, or just managing your own creative chaos — this one’s for you.

🎧 Press play, take a breath, and know this: you’re not faking it — you’re figuring it out. And you’re not alone.

In this kickoff episode of Cntrl + Alt + Sass, I’m pulling back the curtain on who I am, where I came from, and why I started this whole thing. From my early days in gaming to running servers and building communities, I’m sharing the highs, the chaos, and the sass that shaped my journey.

You’ll hear how I broke away from the “stereotypical female gamer” mold, the wild ride that led to launching The Tackroom – a RedM equestrian sandbox server made for horse lovers who don’t want to be boxed in – and what this podcast is all about.

Whether you’re a fellow gamer, server runner, horse nerd, or just curious, this episode sets the stage for everything to come. Saddle up – it’s gonna be a ride. 🤠
