Positive Psychology and Wellbeing expert Sue Langley joins us this week to bring the SCIENCE, bebe!

Sue is a world-renowned wellbeing speaker and thought leader, and I was so grateful for the opportunity to pick her brain about my midlife crisis.

Sue specialises in the practical applications of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and positive psychology, synthesising the science and research into simple, practical tools that anyone can use. Her research – aimed squarely at the sweet spot between emotional intelligence, positive emotions, and brain science – inspires people to get the best from themselves and from their peers and teams.

IT'S HERE - THE FIRST DASH.

The original concept of Dash was to explore sliding doors

And it’s not NOT about that now.

But as I’m facing my own existential / midlife / identity crisis

I’ve chatted with mental health professionals, artists,

This first episode I recorded with my dear friend Hannah

The one where The Imposters finally learn what 'self care' means.

In episode 70 of The Imposter Syndrome Club, Jessamy is joined by Alice Imposter and returning guest, artist Carissa Karamarko. We chat about going all in, feeling like you’re always behind, relationship to the word ‘artist’, the relief of letting things go, choosing the quality of your problems, partnerships, balancing inputs & outputs, worrying about what your work day looks like to other people, not acknowledging progress as it happens, the seduction of busyness and newness, having the space to see the big picture, mindset shifts vs opt-outs, the binding nature of gossip, all-girls schools, preparing young people for the real world, and the value and limitations of old friendships.

In this episode we time travel all the way to January to give you this great chat with Natalie Katona from the To All The Men I've Tolerated Before podcast.

We chat cat names, talking in movies, covid silver linings, self-imposed barriers, starting a podcast with no experience (LOL relatable), fear keeping you creative-adjacent, middle-school plays, getting the acting bug, self image, podcasting as storytelling, managing friendships with professional partnerships, Days Of Our Loves, Fiona the Hippo, the safety in believing you’re never the expert, being a cock-block to your own healing, being ok with being bad at stuff, imposter syndrome and dating, fluid sexuality, Encino Man, and Gen Z saving us all.

(For those playing at home, we did eventually find Encino Man and it was wonderful)

In episode 68 of The Imposter Syndrome Club, Alice Imposter Dr Marion Piper returns to dive into The Little Box of Fuck Ups, harvested from Finders Keepers Creative Business Summit back in March (soz we fucked up and forgot to do it earlier). 

We cover diary fuck ups, spelling fuck ups, file deletion fuck ups, not getting it in writing fuck ups, how you respond to other people’s fuck ups, and importantly - how do you learn and grow from your fuck ups and be honest about what you need.
